Determining the relationship between the speed of motion of large permanent magnets and the trajectory of implants in magnetic stereotaxic systems by Ц. Ханькунь, О. Г. Аврунін

In previous studies, we have found that it is completely feasible for the implant to move along the arc trajectory, so we need to determine the relationship between the movement speed of the large permanent magnet that constitutes the external magnetic field and the implant movement trajectory, so as to control the implant movement more precisely. …”
