A Helper to Treat Heart Disease - Ultra - Fine Sensors

As we all know, heart disease is one of the important causes of human death. To the United States, for example, coronary heart disease caused by arterial occlusion each year will lead to more than 385,000 deaths. Today, the United States has developed a super-fine piezo sensor devices, they hope that this device can reduce the risk of heart disease caused by death.
This ultra-fine sensor device is essentially 1.4 mm silicon chip, it can shoot the heart and coronary artery and blood vessels around the real-time 3D images. Next, the chip, based on the measured volume of the image, to better guide the doctor for cardiac surgery, and to help doctors clear the patient's arterial obstruction, but also does not require major surgery to complete these tasks. The chip is actually a catheter-based device, mainly through the "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)" technology made. This device is also an active pixel sensor, the sensor often appears in the mobile phone camera and webcam. The device uses an ultrasonic transducer to directly process the signals on the device and to transmit more than 100 kinds of data on the device. This makes the chip easier to penetrate the entire blood vessels, and provide real-time 3D images. So far, there have been a number of devices that can capture the internal images of the heart and arteries, but these devices only provide cross-sectional images that do not give the doctor the best view possible and therefore are unable to get the most out of it They work in the area of the situation. F. Levent Degertekin of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in a statement, said that the ultra-fine sensor device to help doctors in the inspection and surgery to see everything in the blood vessels. "This device will allow cardiovascular doctors to get the information they need so they can see the clogs in the occluded arteries, and more importantly, they can be reduced to blood vessels," DeGetkin says. "Researchers at the facility are planning to begin testing the device in animals soon after, and eventually want to get the device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
