Abstract:An instrumented “intelligent syringe” for tissue properties prediction is described. The syringe records pressure transients created while injecting or withdrawing fluid from tissue at given flow rates. Dynamic data is interpreted using computer-based porous media math models to predict permeability, anisotropy, compressibility, background pressure and porosity. The new method provides direct measurements of flow properties important to drug delivery, clinical diagnosis, disease control, synthetic organ design… Show more
