Optical-Based Artificial Palpation Sensors for Lesion Characterization
Palpation techniques are widely used in medical procedures to detect the presence of lumps or tumors in the soft breast tissues. Since these procedures are very subjective and depend on the skills of the physician, it is imperative to perform detailed a scientific study in order to develop more efficient medical sensors to measure and generate palpation parameters. In this research, we propose ...
متن کاملTactile Sensation Imaging for Artificial Palpation
In this paper we investigated a novel tactile sensation imaging method using a flexible, transparent waveguide and the total internal reflection principle. The developed sensor is used to detect and identify inclusions within tissues. To test the performance of the proposed sensor, a realistic tissue phantom with hard inclusions (tumor models) is developed. The proposed tactile imaging sensor e...
متن کاملIon-selective Optical Sensors for the Characterization of Europa’s Oceans
Introduction: The discovery of satellites in our solar system that generate enough internal energy to support liquid oceans below their icy crusts has started a series of questions related to the search for extraterrestrial life. The young surface age of Europa [1] suggests recent replenishment of the surface with material originating from the potentially habitable oceans underneath [2], thus m...
متن کاملIntelligent Optical Sensors Using Artificial Neural Network Approach
This work present and demonstrated an applications of artificial neural network approach in optical sensing. The conventional matrix method used in simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature with optical Bragg gratings is compared with artificial neural network approach. The alternative method is proposed for reduced the error.
