The benefits of Fiber Bragg Grating sensors over conventional sensors, make them highly appropriate for use in many areas of medical research and treatment. The miniature scale of optical fibers for instance, makes in-vivo temperature and strain sensing possible. Furthermore FBG sensors are completely immune to electromagnetic radiation, so they can be used for applications within high radiation zones where electrical sensors would fail.
1. Medical
The benefits of Fiber Bragg Grating sensors such as small size, light weight, electromagnetic immunity and high sensitivity make them highly suited for use in many areas of robotic and non-robotic medical diagnosis and treatment.
Cases
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
KU Leuven is a highly reputated Belgian university with a strong focus on research of a high international level
The Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The AMC is one of eight university hospitals in the Netherlands and is expert in medical research in a variety of specialities including forensics; biomedical physics, radiology and pathology.
This paper describes the influence of sensor distance on the accuracy of the probe and thus on the quality of the shape reconstruction. It compares four fibers with different sensor spacings and shows the results of the experiment.
