| 发明名称 | MRI compatible medical device temperature monitoring system | ||
| 摘要 | A temperature monitoring system for a medical device comprises an optical transmit/receive unit, an elongate optical fiber having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner core extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and one or more fiber Bragg grating elements formed in the inner core of the optical fiber. The optical fiber is operably coupled to the transmit/receive unit at the proximal end. At least a portion of the optical fiber is also operably coupled to a medical device and is structured to measure temperature at one or more temperature sensing locations on the medical device. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A temperature monitoring system for a medical device comprising: an optical transmit/receive unit; an elongate optical fiber having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner core extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the optical fiber operably coupled to the transmit/receive unit at the proximal end; and at least one fiber Bragg grating element formed in the inner core of the optical fiber and formed adjacent the distal end, said at least one fiber Bragg grating element comprising an aperiodic variation of refractive index written or inscribed by an ultraviolet light source; wherein at least a portion of the optical fiber is operably coupled to a medical device and is structured to measure temperature at one or more temperature sensing locations on the medical device by the at least one fiber Bragg grating element. | ||
