Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for operating a medical probe includes pressing a distal end of the medical probe, which includes one or more arms that extend diagonally outward from a central shaft and have respective position transducers coupled thereto, against an intra-body surface, so as to cause the arms to exert pressure on the surface and bend with respect to the central shaft in response to the pressure. Positions of the respective position transducers coupled to the arms are measured, and the pressure exerted by the arms is estimated responsively to the measured positions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating a medical probe having a central shaft, comprising: pressing one or more of a plurality of arms, each arm having a proximal end directly attached to the central shaft and an unsupported distal end that extends outward from the central shaft in a cantilevered manner, with each arm having a position transducer coupled thereto, against an intra-body surface, so as to cause the arms to exert pressure on the surface and bend with resp…
