摘要: Methods for assessment of pelvic floor conditions based on tactile imaging are described. The vaginal wall is deformed using a transvaginal probe equipped with pressure sensors and motion tracking sensor. coordinates patterns obtained during the examination used to build 3-D image vagina calculate elasticity modulus profiles spacing along selected lines inside image. profile values at specified locations then compared thresholds or normal its support structures. invention disclosed be in assessing risk organ prolapse development, estimating an extent traumatic damage after childbirth improvement interventional procedure.
