Summary:To provide catheters that for improved visualization of the catheters and medical devices, are capable of being used together with the devices, systems, and methods.SOLUTION: There is provided a catheter comprising a polymer tube, where at least a portion of the polymer tube comprises a magnetized portion which has been magnetized so as to generate a known magnetic field B at a distance x through tissue of permeability μr. The position of catheter can be detected by a magnetometer on the basis of measured strength and direction of the known magnetic field and a correlation between the permeability of the tissue and the known magnetic field at the selected distance, the correlation being calculated as x=f(B, μr).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A 【課題】カテーテルおよび医療デバイスの向上した視覚化をもたらすために、デバイス、システム、および方法と共に使用することができるカテーテルを提供する。【解決手段】ポリマーチューブを備えたカテーテルであって、前記ポリマーチューブの少なくとも一部が、透磁率μrの組織を通して距離xで知られている磁場Bを生成するように磁化された磁化部分を備え、知られている磁場の測定された強度および方向、ならびに選択された前記距離での前記知られている磁場と前記組織の前記透磁率との間の相関付けに基づいて、カテーテルの位置が磁力計によって検出可能であり、前記相関付けは、x=f(B,μr)として計算される、カテーテルを提供する。【選択図】図1A
