3D Guidance® Transmitters

Flexible Integration into OEM Imaging Systems, Trainers, and Carts
3D Guidance® Mid-Range Transmitter

The Mid-Range Transmitter (MRT) offers a flexible setup that can be integrated into OEM applications where the tracking volume needs to cover a larger region. The MRT is a general-purpose transmitter (field generator) and is used in a wide range of OEM system navigation applications in interventional imaging, such as ultrasound probe tracking, ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, and robotic surgery.

The size of the measurement volume is specific to each 3D Guidance sensor, which is determined by the tracking distance achieved on the transmitter’s X, Y, and Z-axes. Larger sensors have a longer tracking distance on each axis, resulting in a larger overall measurement volume.

Dimensions96 x 96 x 96 mm
Weight2.3 kg
Maximum Tracking Distance:

Normal Mode: 660 mm (Model 800 Sensor, on positive x-axis)
Extended Volume Mode: 1800 mm (Model 800 Sensor, on positive x-axis)*

Accuracy – 6DOF SensorRMS

3D Guidance® Short-Range Transmitter

The Short-Range Transmitter (SRT) provides a smaller measurement volume for localized tracking in confined, difficult-to-access regions. Its small, lightweight design allows the SRT to be mounted directly on third-party mobile imaging equipment, or inside OEM system surgical simulation phantoms.
