T1 - Smart medical textiles with embedded optical fibre sensors for continuous monitoring of respiratory movements during MRI T2 - EWOFS 2010 - 4th European workshop on optical fibre sensors (Proceedings of SPIE) N2 - We report on three respiration sensors based on pure optical technologies developed during the FP6 EU project OFSETH. The developed smart medical textiles can sense elongation up to 3%, while maintaining the stretching properties of the textile substrates for a good comfort of the patient. The sensors, based on silica and polymer fibre, are developed for monitoring of patients during MRI examination. The OFSETH harness allows a continuous measurement of respiration movements while all vitals organs are free for medical staff actions. The sensors were tested in MRI environment and on healthy adults.
