Objective To realize the non-invasive location of micro-diagnosis and treatment system in vivo, a new method of magnetic location is proposed, and an experimental system based on this method has been exploitated. Methods Based on the distributing rule of permanent magnetic field and the method of magnetic location based on Hall effect, a magnet field tracking system in vitro is proposed which is based on the Hall effect sensor array. System optimization experiment, system performance experiment and the simulation experiment of intestine plane are designed to verify the feasibility and accuracy of this system and the precision of location results. Results The location precision of this method is millimeter-sized, which is satisfactory and adequate for practical use.Conclusions This system is non-contact measuring,low-cost, easy-cooperate, high-precision and can precisely track the location of the tiny magnet. The system provides a foundation for the further study of the accurate positioning and monitoring in the intestinal tract.
