摘要：
An imaging system includes an ultrasound probe, and an interventional medical device having a tracking device. The ultrasound probe includes an ultrasound transducer to generate an ultrasound field-of-view, a tracking field generator to generate an electromagnetic locator field, and a wireless receiver. The interventional medical device has a distal end portion to which the tracking device is mechanically coupled. The tracking device includes a plurality of tracking coils, a wireless transmitter, and a power supply circuit. The plurality of tracking coils interact with the electromagnetic locator field to determine a location within the electromagnetic locator field and to generate tracking data. The wireless transmitter is configured to transmit the tracking data from the tracking device of the interventional medical device to the wireless receiver of the ultrasound probe. The power supply circuit is configured to supply electrical power to the wireless transmitter of the tracking device.
