Fiber-optic needle probes are highly miniaturized imaging devices that enable imaging deep inside the body. Utilizing optical coherence tomography (OCT), these devices replace the standard scanning
I learned to splice from a master splicer who built a big chunk of Newfoundland''s fiber including sub sea cables. I''ll never forget his response when I brought up this concern: "B''y, I''ve had so many fiber
In this work, we propose and experimentally assess a shape-sensing guidance system based on four simultaneously scanned distributed optical fiber sensors based on high-scattering nanoparticle
This paper presents the performance analysis of the system for real-time reconstruction of the shape of the rigid medical needle used for minimally invasive surgeries. The system is based on
Although FBG and FPI based fibre optic force sensors can be used to achieve force sensing at the tip of flexible needles, the resolution of the sensors during the puncture process needs
Insulated piercing clamps are made of UV-resistant thermoplastic fibre which is
Equipment – This process utilizes pneumatic piercing tools to bore between small pits. The rigid object that the worker is placing in the ground is called a "missile".
Optical sensors are a promising choice as they are immune to MR influence. This paper proposes optical sensing solutions for needle-tip applications of needle-tip tactile sensing and bio
Their piercing tools, commonly known as "missiles," are essential for efficient underground installations without the need for extensive excavation. Here, we provide a detailed overview of their capabilities,
This work presents a method of needle shape reconstruction, which can serve as potential guidance technology for minimally invasive surgeries, such as epidural anesthesia. The suggested technology
With fixed-blade tools, once the cable diameter is determined, it is simply placed into the appropriate groove, and two cuts are made longitudinally on the cable sheath by pulling the tool along the cable.
