Shape Sensor Using Magnetic Induction with Frequency Sweeping for Medical Catheters
Jiyun Jeon,Chunwoo Kim,Jiyun Jeon,Chunwoo Kim
Shape sensors are important for safer and more dexterous manipulation of the medical catheters. Among the electromagnetic based shape sensors, a voice coil shape sensor measures the variation of a mutual inductance between the coils placed along the tube due to the bending of the tube. Owing to the design flexibility of a voice coil, it offers the small size without the external magnetic field gen...
