Five different field generators provide versatile options for generating a measurement volume that is optimized to application workflows and the operative space.
Each FG has a Distinct Form Factor and Mounting Options
Aurora® Field Generators (FGs) emit a low-intensity, varying electromagnetic field that establishes the measurement volume in which the EM sensors’ positions and orientations are tracked. There are five Aurora FGs, each with a distinct measurement volume, form factor, and mounting options that can be applied to different OEM navigation system workflows and procedures, and set up within the operative space.
The Field Generator works in tandem with the Aurora System Control Unit, Sensor Interface Unit, and Aurora Sensors.
The Planar 20-20 FG is a versatile field generator with numerous mounting options that allow it to be easily positioned above or around the patient bed without impeding the physical workflow. The Planar 20-20 FG has the largest measurement volume of all Aurora FGs. This general-purpose FG is commonly used for OEM system navigation applications in interventional radiology, spinal surgery, and ENT surgery.
