Abstract
Thermal ablation of tumors aims to apply extreme temperatures inside the target tissue to achieve substantial tumor destruction in a minimally invasive manner. Several techniques are comprised, classified according to the type of energy source. However, the lack of treatment selectivity still needs to be addressed, potentially causing two risks: i) incomplete tumor destruction and recurrence, or conversely, ii) damage of the surrounding healthy tissue. Therefore, the research herein reviewed seeks to develop sensing systems based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) for thermal monitoring inside the lesion during radiofrequency, laser, and microwave ablation. This review shows that, mainly thanks to multiplexing and minimal invasiveness, FBGs provide an optimal sensing solution. Their temperature measurements are the feedback to control the ablation process and allow to investigate different treatments, compare their outcomes, and quantify the impact of factors such as proximity to thermal probe and blood vessels, perfusion, and tissue type.

Operando monitoring of thermal runaway in commercial lithium-ion cells via advanced lab-on-fiber technologies. Nat Commun 2023; 14:5251. [PMID: 37640698 PMCID: PMC10462619 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-40995-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Operando monitoring of complex physical and chemical activities inside rechargeable lithium-ion batteries during thermal runaway is critical to understanding thermal runaway mechanisms and giving early warning of safety-related failure. However, most existing sensors cannot survive during such extremely hazardous thermal runaway processes (temperature up to 500 °C accompanied by fire and explosion). To address this, we develop a compact and multifunctional optical fiber sensor (12 mm in length and 125 µm in diameter) capable of insertion into commercial 18650 cells to continuously monitor internal temperature and pressure effects during cell thermal runaway. We observe a stable and reproducible correlation between the cell thermal runaway and the optical response. The sensor's signal shows two internal pressure peaks corresponding to safety venting and initiation of thermal runaway. Further analysis reveals that a scalable solution for predicting imminent thermal runaway is the detection of the abrupt turning range of the differential curves of cell temperature and pressure, which corresponds to an internal transformation between the cell reversible and irreversible reactions. By raising an alert even before safety venting, this new operando measurement tool can provide crucial capabilities in cell safety assessment and warning of thermal runaway.

Abstract
In this work, we report the design of an optical fiber distributed sensing network for the 2-dimensional (2D) in situ thermal mapping of advanced methods for radiofrequency thermal ablation. The sensing system is based on six high-scattering MgO-doped optical fibers, interleaved by a scattering-level spatial multiplexing approach that allows simultaneous detection of each fiber location, in a 40 × 20 mm grid (7.8 mm2 pixel size). Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was performed on bovine phantom, using a pristine approach and methods mediated by agarose and gold nanoparticles in order to enhance the ablation properties. The 2D sensors allow the detection of spatiotemporal patterns, evaluating the heating properties and investigating the repeatability. We observe that agarose-based ablation yields the widest ablated area in the best-case scenario, while gold nanoparticles-mediated ablation provides the best trade-off between the ablated area (53.0-65.1 mm2, 61.5 mm2 mean value) and repeatability.

Abstract
Cardiac diseases are recognized as the leading cause of mortality, hospitalization, and medical prescription globally. The gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis is the percutaneous cardiac intervention that is performed under live X-ray imaging. Substantial clinical evidence shows that the surgeon and staff are prone to serious health problems due to X-ray exposure and occupational hazards. Telerobotic vascular intervention systems with a master-slave architecture reduced the X-ray exposure and enhanced the clinical outcomes; however, the loss of haptic feedback during surgery has been the main limitation of such systems. This paper is a review of the state of the art for haptic telerobotic cardiovascular interventions. A survey on the literature published between 2000 and 2019 was performed. Results of the survey were screened based on their relevance to this paper. Also, the leading research disciplines were identified based on the results of the survey. Furthermore, different approaches for sensor-based and model-based haptic telerobotic cardiovascular intervention, haptic rendering and actuation, and the pertinent methods were critically reviewed and compared. In the end, the current limitations of the state of the art, unexplored research areas as well as the future perspective of the research on this technology were laid out.

Abstract
Accurate treatment planning and monitoring are critical factors to ensure safe and effective outcomes of laser thermal coagulation (LTC). Computational and experimental models based upon linear energy modulation were deployed to predict temperature distribution and thermal damage within ex vivo porcine liver. 1470-nm Gaussian emission was confirmed by using digital imaging and the customized goniometry. The tissue temperature was maintained in the pre-determined range (65~75 °C) to induce thermally destructive volumes of 0.23 cm3 (simulation) and 0.17 ± 0.05 cm3 (experiment) once the applied power was linearly reduced from 3.5 W to 0.2 W in 50 s ("3.5 W fast slope" laser modulation mode). The proposed model may be a useful tool to predict thermal responses of the tissue during LTC.

Abstract
We report on the integration of fiber optic sensors with commercial medical instrumentation for temperature monitoring during radio frequency ablation for tumor treatment. A suitable configuration with five fiber Bragg grating sensors bonded to a bipolar radio frequency (RF) probe has been developed to monitor the area under treatment. A series of experiments were conducted on <italic<ex-vivo</italic< animal kidney and liver and the results confirm that we were able to make a multipoint measurement and to develop a real-time temperature profile of the area, with a temperature resolution of 0.1°C and a spatial resolution of 5 mm during a series of different and consecutive RF discharges.

Abstract
We report the first-ever intra-tissue pressure measurement performed during 1064 nm laser ablation (LA) of an ex vivo porcine liver. Pressure detection has been performed with a biocompatible, all-glass, temperature-insensitive Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometry (EFPI) miniature probe; the proposed methodology mimics in-vivo treatment. Four experiments have been performed, positioning the probe at different positions from the laser applicator tip (from 0.5 mm to 5 mm). Pressure levels increase during ablation time, and decrease with distance from applicator tip: the recorded peak parenchymal pressure levels range from 1.9 kPa to 71.6 kPa. Different pressure evolutions have been recorded, as pressure rises earlier in proximity of the tip. The present study is the first investigation of parenchymal pressure detection in liver undergoing LA: the successful detection of intra-tissue pressure may be a key asset for improving LA, as pressure levels have been correlated to scattered recurrences of tumors by different studies.

Abstract
The Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) is applied to accurate detection of optical fiber sensors in the spectral domain. By processing an optical spectrum, although coarsely sampled, through the KLT, and subsequently processing the obtained eigenvalues, it is possible to decode a plurality of optical sensor results. The KLT returns higher accuracy than other demodulation techniques, despite coarse sampling, and exhibits higher resilience to noise. Three case studies of KLT-based processing are presented, representing most of the current challenges in optical fiber sensing: (1) demodulation of individual sensors, such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) and Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPIs); (2) demodulation of dual (FBG/FPI) sensors; (3) application of reverse KLT to isolate different sensors operating on the same spectrum. A simulative outline is provided to demonstrate the KLT operation and estimate performance; a brief experimental section is also provided to validate accurate FBG and FPI decoding.

Abstract
This article is focused on reviewing the current state-of-the-art of optical fibre pressure sensors for medical applications. Optical fibres have inherent advantages due to their small size, immunity to electromagnetic interferences and their suitability for remote monitoring and multiplexing. The small dimensions of optical fibre-based pressure sensors, together with being lightweight and flexible, mean that they are minimally invasive for many medical applications and, thus, particularly suited to in vivo measurement. This means that the sensor can be placed directly inside a patient, e.g., for urodynamic and cardiovascular assessment. This paper presents an overview of the recent developments in optical fibre-based pressure measurements with particular reference to these application areas.

Abstract
An all-fiber sensor scheme for real time and simultaneous displacement and temperature measurement is presented and demonstrated. The sensor head is formed by cascading a fiber loop with polymer coating with a fiber Bragg grating. The compatibility of the two components is fully utilized. A sensor resolution of 0.14314 V/μm in displacement and 0.00795 nm/°C in temperature are experimentally achieved within a displacement range of 0-50 μm and a temperature range of 20 °C-75 °C, respectively. The fiber loop with the protection of polymer coating is mechanically reliable, which means the sensor head also suits measuring dynamic displacement. A 500 Hz mechanical micro-vibration is successfully measured by the proposed sensor experimentally. In the last part, we perform a test making the sensor reach its maximum deformation and find the surviving sensor still possesses the same responsiveness as before.
