A New Tissue Resonator Indenter Device and Reliability Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge of tissue mechanical properties is widely required by medical applications, such as disease diagnostics, surgery operation, simulation, planning, and training. A new portable device, called Tissue Resonator Indenter Device (TRID), has been developed for measurement of regional viscoelastic properties of soft tissues at the Bio-instrument and Biomechanics Lab of the University of Toronto. As a device for soft tissue properties in-vivo measurements, the reliability of TRID is crucial. This paper presents TRID's working principle and the experimental study of TRID's reliability with respect to inter-reliability, intra-reliability, and the indenter misalignment effect as well.

متن کاملA NEW MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF CONTACT TREATMENT BETWEEN AN ORTHOTROPIC MATERIAL AND A RIGID INDENTER
Abstract: The boundary value problems involving contact are of the great importance in industries related to mechanical and materials engineering. These mixed problems are challenging since a priori unknown deformed surface of the material contacting a rigid indenter is to be determined as a part of the solution. Anisotropic solids represent an important class of engineering materials including...
متن کاملPlasmonic Adder/Subtractor Module Based on a Ring Resonator Filter
A four port network adder-subtractor module, for surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves based on a ring resonator filter is proposed. The functionality of module is achieved by the phase difference manipulation of guided SPPs through different arms connected to the ring resonator. The module is designed using the concepts of a basic two-port device proposed in this paper. It is shown that two po...
