| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed sensorized forceps for video assisted lung surgery and an intuitive presentation system for stiffness information in the lung. Moreover, we proposed a thickness estimation method of pulmonary nodules using the grasping forceps with sensors and evaluated the methods to estimate the thickness of a silicone sphere, which implies a nodule located in gelatin used as lung parenchymal tissue. In the next step, we will apply the system to the experimental animal model aiming at the final goal of clinical use.
