Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of minimally invasive puncture force sensing, in particular to a high-precision optical fiber grating force sensor capable of accurately measuring the interaction force between a puncture needle and human tissue during minimally invasive puncture. Background technique [0002] In modern clinical medicine, puncture needle interventional surgery has increasingly become a common medical method. This method has been widely used in various minimally invasive percutaneous procedures, such as interventional radiology, neurosurgery, brachytherapy, drug delivery, cancer tissue diagnostic biopsy and blood sampling, etc. Compared with open surgery, puncture needle interventional surgery has the advantages of less incision and trauma, less risk of infection, less bleeding, shorter postoperative recovery time, and lower mortality rate. It is a minimally invasive method for accessing internal tissues and organs. Although...
