Establishment of measurement and diagnostic technology in vivo using tactile sensor for minimally invasive surgery

在这项研究中，我们研究了由有机铁电体组成的触觉传感器在体内的触诊，用于微创手术。我们使用我们的基于计算机的手术模拟器来模拟血管中的导管和导丝，在体内评估了传感器的性能及其测量原理。此外，我们还对有机铁电材料的压电性和模拟模型的参数进行了评估，并发展了相关技术。最后，制作了样机，并将该传感器应用于工业应用。

In this study, we investigated the palpation in vivo by the tactile sensor composed of organic ferroelectrics for minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the performance of the sensor and its measurement principle in vivo using our computer-based surgical simulator to simulate a catheter and guidewire in blood vessels. Moreover, we evaluated the piezoelectric properties of the organic ferroelectrics and the parameters of the simulation model, and developed the relating technology. Lastly, we manufactured the prototype and applied this sensor to the industrial use.
