AI Article Synopsis
- This paper introduces a digital conductance catheter system using FPGA technology to measure real-time ventricular volumes for research.
- The system's performance is evaluated in three phases: first, by conducting conductance measurements with a defined set of resistances for each catheter section; second, by measuring volumes in glass containers with a liquid similar to blood; and third, by comparing the results of the new FPGA-based system with an existing analog conductance catheter system.
- The goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of using FPGA for this type of medical measurement.
Article Abstract
This paper presents a digital conductance catheter system based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) to measure real time ventricular volumes for experimental use. The system performance is realized in three stages: a) conductance measurements using a well-known set of resistance connected to each catheter section; b) volumes measurements in glass containers of well-known geometry that contain a solution with a resistivity similar to the blood, and c) comparison between the previous analog conductance catheter system and this novel FPGA based system.
