In the United States, heart disease is a major cause of death. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), arterial blockage caused by coronary heart disease kills more than 385,000 people every year. Today, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States have developed an ultra-fine sensor device that they hope will reduce the risk of death from heart disease.
This tiny device is essentially a 1.4 mm silicon chip that captures real-time 3D images of the heart and the coronary arteries and around the blood vessels. Next, the chip further guides the doctor to perform cardiac surgery based on the image of the measured volume, and helps the doctor to remove the blockage in the patient's arteries, and does not require major surgery to complete the work.
The chip is actually a catheter-based device made primarily of "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)" technology. This device is also an active pixel sensor that is often found in cell phone cameras and webcams. This device uses an ultrasonic frequency converter to directly process the signals on the device and transmit more than 100 data on the device. This allows the chip to more easily penetrate the entire blood vessel and provide 3D images in real time.
So far, there have been a number of devices that can capture internal images of the heart and arteries, but these devices can only provide images of intersecting segments that do not provide the doctor with the best viewing angle and therefore do not know the most. The situation in their work area. F. Levent Degertekin of the Georgia Institute of Technology pointed out in a statement that this ultra-fine sensor device can help doctors see everything inside the blood vessels during examinations and surgery. “This device will allow cardiovascular doctors to get the information they need so they can see blockages in the occluded artery. More importantly, this device can be reduced to clear blood vessels,†said DeGatkin. The number of operations performed with a blockage inside."
Currently, researchers involved in this device are planning to test the device on animals soon, and ultimately hope to get the device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
