    摘要: The invention relates to a medical apparatus (120,130) having a sensor (100,110) for detecting a force acting on the medical apparatus (120,130) in a longitudinal direction. The medical apparatus (120,130) comprises an opto-mechanical force transducer having a flexible part (22,42) for receiving the force, an optical guide (1) having an outcoupling surface (11) that faces the flexible part (22,42) of the opto-mechanical force transducer, and a photodetector which detects an interference pattern composed of light (32) in the optical guide (1) that is reflected from the outcoupling surface (11) of the optical guide (1) and of light (33) in the optical guide (1) that is reflected from the flexible part (11) of the opto-mechanical force transducer. The use of the interference pattern composed of the light reflected from the out-coupling surface of the optical guide and the light reflected from the flexible part of the opto-mechanical force transducer results in a more accurate measurement of the force acting on the medical apparatus.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device comprising a supply unit (2) for supplying ablation energy to a material (4), and a stimuli-responsive substance (3′) for controlling a level of the ablation energy deposited into the material (4). The device allows to limit a temperature of the material (4), so that risks associated to ablation at too high temperatures can be eliminated. The device may comprise at least one illumination unit (7) for illuminating the material (4), and at least one reception unit (8a, 8b) for receiving reflected light in order to obtain information about a state of the material (4). The obtained information can be used to regulate the supplied ablation energy.

    摘要: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus (1) for imaging an interior of an object (2). The imaging apparatus (1) comprises a first ultrasound sensor and a second ultrasound sensor for sensing the interior of the object at different frequencies, wherein the ultrasound sensing signals from the first ultrasound sensor are used for generating a first ultrasound image and a the ultrasound sensing signals from the second ultrasound sensor are used for generating a second ultrasound image. A larger frequency generally provides a smaller depth of penetrating the interior of the object and a larger spatial resolution than a smaller frequency. The imaging apparatus (1) can therefore provide the capability of simultaneously imaging the interior of the object with different spatial resolutions and at different penetration depths. This allows the imaging apparatus to improve the quality of imaging the interior of the object.
