POSITION SENSING IN INTRAVASCULAR PROCESSES

Intravascular systems can include a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, a sensor located at the distal end configured to provide sensor information representative of one or more intravascular properties of a patient, and a plurality of magnetic domains. A magnetic pickup can be configured to output a pickup signal based on the magnetic field at the magnetic pickup produced by the plurality of magnetic domains. An intravascular processing engine can be in communication with the catheter sensor and the magnetic pickup. The intravascular processing engine can receive sensor informationfrom the sensor and a position signal representative of the pickup signal. The intravascular processing engine can be used to determine position information related to the position of the catheter sensor and combine the received sensor information and corresponding determined position information. 血管内系统可包括导管，所述导管具有近端、远端、位于所述远端的传感器，所述传感器被配置成提供代表患者的个或多个血管内特性的传感器信息，以及多个磁畴。磁性拾取器可以被配置成基于由所述多个磁畴产生的所述磁性拾取器处的磁场输出拾取信号。血管内处理引擎可以与所述
