Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to systems and methods for performing a puncturing operation with improved puncture precision. The invention refers to a monitoring system comprising a first magnetic sensor attachable to a puncturing instrument (20), a second magnetic sensor (14) supportable by an endoscopic instrument (30), a field generator (16) configured for generating a variable magnetic field, and a processing unit. The processing unit (18) determines a relative position of the first magnetic sensor with respect to the second magnetic sensor and generates positional data encoding such relative position. The invention further refers to a puncturing system (100) comprising such a monitoring system (10), to a related method of generating positional data, and to a related storage device.
