Development of a novel monitoring system for spinal cord ischemia

我们设计了一种由微流传感器元件和传输/接收电路组成的新型脊髓缺血检测装置。传感器单元可以在模拟Adamkiewicz动脉的血管幻影中检测由人工血流产生的多普勒频移。在我们将导管引入临床领域之前，需要进一步改进以提高信噪比。

We created a novel device consisted of micro-flow sensor element and transmitting/receiving circuit to detect spinal cord ischemia. The sensor unit could detect Doppler shift generated by artificial blood flow within a vascular phantom mimicking Adamkiewicz artery. Further modifications are warranted to improve S/N ratio before we introduce the catheter into the clinical arena.
