Temperature Indication Combined With The Indication Of Another Variable (epo) Patents (Class 374/E1.008)
  • Patent number: 9801582
    Abstract: The thigh adhesion quantitative measurement system is a sensor system for precisely locating fibers and/or bands of connective tissue formed between layers of body tissue, binding the layers together and not permitting them to glide over each other. This bonding is called an adhesion. The present system is designed to determine quantitatively the degree of adhesion and the location of high-pressure adhesion(s) such that medical removal procedures (e.g., liposuction) can be precisely performed. The system makes use of a scanning device having an array of pressure sensors, the scanning device being defined by a flexible plate wrapped by a belt to a patient's limb, such as a thigh. A flexible cable connects the plate to a body-worn transmitter that wirelessly transmits real-time pressure distribution images received from the flexible plate to a computer for use by doctors preparing for the liposuction procedure.
