    摘要: Systems and methods of detecting position and movement of the bladder and urethra are provided. In one embodiment, a system is provided including a flexible tube, or catheter, with one or more MEMS sensors and an RF antenna embedded thereon; and an RF receiver located external to the flexible tube. The sensors in the flexible tube can be connected to external electronics, which are in turn connected to a computing device. The MEMS sensors provide motion detection and the RF sensors provide position/distance detection. The MEMS sensors can include, but are not limited to, one or more accelerometers, gyroscopes, stress sensors, tilt sensors, and/or pressure sensors. In operation, the flexible tube is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to detect the location of the bladder neck and track the motion and/or shape of the urethra. The results of the tracking can be provided on a display.
