Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for using an intraluminal sensing device are provided. The intraluminal sensing device may include a ferrous element disposed at a distal portion of an elongate flexible member configured to be placed in a body lumen of a patient. An external electromagnetic field device may be used to produce an electromagnetic field that may be used to direct the movement of the flexible elongate member within the body lumen.
