| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Increasing number of patients undergo tissue transplantation after breast cancer resection for reconstructing the breast for an improved quality of life. Thrombosis may occur in the transplanted tissue for about one week after the surgery, and a system for immediately detecting impaired blood flow is required. In this study, we develop an ultrathin imager using an organic photodiode (OPD) and an organic light emitting diode (OLED), attach it to the transplanted tissue, and monitor the blood flow. Conventional techniques such as cameras enable observations at intervals of several hours, which may delay the finding of impaird blood flow. The device is capable of constant observation and can detect changes in local blood flow.
