The sensor represents one of the most important aspects of a biomedical instrument in that it is concerned with the interface between the instrument and the physiologic system being measured. Examples of sensors being developed in our laboratory are presented. These include applications of a miniature silicon piezoresistive pressure transducer to measuring intrauterine and intraurethral pressures; a force sensor for use in neuromuscular control research; an instrument system for the in vivo analysis of the rheology of the uterine cervix; thin film and active biopotential electrodes for neonates; metal-metal oxide pH sensors fabricated by microelectronic techniques and thin and thick film multiple cathode polarographic oxygen sensors. Speculations on areas of future importance for biomedical sensors complete the manuscript.
传感器是生物医学仪器最重要的方面之一，因为它涉及仪器与被测生理系统之间的接口。本文展示了我们实验室正在研发的传感器实例。这些包括微型硅压阻式压力传感器在测量子宫内和尿道内压力方面的应用；用于神经肌肉控制研究的力传感器；用于子宫颈流变学体内分析的仪器系统；用于新生儿的薄膜和有源生物电位电极；通过微电子技术制造的金属-金属氧化物pH传感器以及薄膜和厚膜多阴极极谱氧传感器。对生物医学传感器未来重要领域的推测完善了本文。
