To provide data for the design of virtual environments and teleoperated systems for surgery, it is necessary to measure tissue properties under both in vivo and ex vivo conditions. The former provides information about tissue behavior in its physiological state, while the latter can provide better control over experimental conditions. We have developed devices to measure tissue properties under extension and indentation, as well as to record instrument-tissue interaction forces. We are creating a web database of data recorded from porcine abdominal tissues.
为了给手术虚拟环境和远程操作系统的设计提供数据,有必要在体内和体外条件下测量组织特性。前者提供有关处于生理状态下组织行为的信息,而后者能更好地控制实验条件。我们已开发出在拉伸和压痕状态下测量组织特性以及记录器械与组织相互作用力的装置。我们正在创建一个来自猪腹部组织记录数据的网络数据库。
