Video-tactile pneumatic sensor for soft tissue elastic modulus estimation

Abstract Background A new sensor for estimating elasticity of soft tissues such as a liver was developed for minimally invasive surgery application. Methods By measuring deformation and adjusting internal pressure of the pneumatic sensor head, the sensor can be used to do palpation (indentation) of...
