Non-Contact Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor for Biomedical Applications

Technology Benefits: · Non-Contact measurement method· Combined emitter and receiver in one fiber· Compact dimensions of fibers allow for wider application· Real-time temperature sensing

Detailed Technology Description: None

*Abstract: None

*Background: Thesurgical removal of tissue from a surface in the body, or ablation, is atedious and careful task for medical professionals. Careful monitoring of vitalsigns, including temperature, is necessary to safely complete a procedure.Ultrasound-based temperature measurement devices have great potential servingas a non-contact way for surgeons to monitor the condition of a patient.Without an accurate non-contact temperature sensor, ablation dosage can only beestimated based on the duration of the procedure. Having constant monitoring oftemperature will eliminate the risk of under-ablation and give doctors a muchmore precise idea of their patient’s condition.
