Abstract:
This paper presents a novel method for measurements of internal constraints during an Interventional Radiology procedure. Fiber-optic strain gauge, operating as a Fabry-Perot interferometer, is inserted and navigated inside a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) model. The information obtained from deformation of the Fabry-Perot cavity is analyzed and the results are then rescaled through a calibration procedure for catheters. The measures help to locate the maximum interaction forces between catheter and blood vessel wall at approximately 1.3 N and to observe the shape of dynamic interaction during manipulation.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
