A Survey on Optical Fiber Sensors for Telemedicine Applications

摘要

In this paper most of the important telemedicine applications with optical fiber sensor were introduced, and they included two techniques of using optical fiber sensors with monitoring and treating patients remotely through the operation. Optical sensors with MRI compatibility have been used in these two fields through catheter and biopsy techniques. This survey is the first one in which the optical fiber sensors in the field of biomedical engineering applications has been used.
