1. The application has been amended as follows:
system for steering magnetotactic entities in a subject, the magnetotactic entities having a propulsion system for navigating in a body of the subject using a magnetic field sufficient for influencing the direction of the magnetotactic entities, comprising:
a table for receiving a subject;
three pairs of magnetic heads for generating the magnetic field for influencing a direction of the magnetotactic entities in a subject; and
a support structure, surrounding the table, for supporting each of the magnetic heads of the three pairs of magnetic heads in a configuration wherein each pair is aligned along one of three axes and wherein each of the magnetic heads of each pair of the three pairs are facing one another, wherein the magnetic heads of the three pairs surround the table,
wherein a first magnetic head of a first pair of the three pairs is placed under the table,
joined to a portion of the support structure, wherein the first magnetic head of the first pair of the three pairs is at an angle with an axis that is orthogonal with a length of the table, and
wherein the support structure comprises a support arch for receiving a first magnetic head of a second pair of the three pairs of magnetic heads, a first magnetic head of a third pair of the three pairs of magnetic heads and a second magnetic head of the first pair of the three pairs of magnetic heads.
