Flat-types of Electrodes to Estimate Lung Cancer Position Using Resonant Circuit Technology

Abstract

Malignant neoplasms (Cancers) are the most causes of the death in Japan. Especially, the lung cancer is the most severe factor of all kinds of cancers. it is mainly removed by video assisted thoracic surgery. However, the lung cancer is estimated visually in the surgery. So, the surgery needs a lot of time and the advance techniques to estimate the cancerous tissue. In this paper, the flat-types of the electrodes have been proposed in order to improve the accuracy of the estimation of the lung position; decrease the burden of the surgery; shorten the surgery time. Our results indicate the possibility of the estimation of the cancer. Using the proposed method, the cancer would be estimated easily. And we will miniaturize the structure of the flat-types of the electrodes and improve the estimation sensibility.
