Měření a vizualizace patologických změn v podkoží

Abstract

This work deals with measurement of subcutaneous abnormalities. For the measurement, the capacitive tactile sensors from company SingleTact are used. Those are detecting differences in tissue stiffness, which could be sign of presence of some subcutaneous lesions, e.g. subcutaneous tumors. To be specific, there are three linearly oriented sensors detecting reaction force, which is invoked by probe touching investigated area. Force differences under every sensor are recorded to the graphs, from which the location and size of the force difference could be easily read. This type of measurement should provide cheap, tentative mean of subcutaneous tumor detection.
