| Video Discription | 뇌 속에 들어가 스스로 진단하고 분해되는 센서 개발 Korean and American researchers have developed a sensor that can analyze brain injuries. Compared to existing sensors, the new wireless device offers patients a safer and more convenient form of diagnosis. Oh Soo-young reports. If you've ever taken a hard blow on the head,... you might look perfectly fine on the outside. But after some time, the shock can be enough to trigger a traumatic brain injury,... which could be fatal. To detect the kinds of microscopic changes that could be indicative of a serious injury, such as increased intracranial pressure, a sensor needs to be placed in the brain. But the method has its limitations. "With the wire sticking out of the brain, infections could develop. Also, because most sensors are fairly large, a bigger hole needs to be made in the skull to insert it." To address these issues, a team of Korean and American scientists has developed a new kind of sensor that dissolves on its own after tracking brain pressure levels. The sensor, which is just two milimeters in diameter, can reach the deepest parts of the brain and accurately diagnose even the smallest of injuries. And within four weeks, when the job is done,... it completely dissolves within the body,... so there's no need for surgical removal. "...so the dangers of an infection during surgery or injuring the brain while the sensor is being removed are significantly reduced. Also, because intracranial pressure is detected wirelessly, patients can get on with their daily lives without being tied down." In fact, several sensors can be placed in the brain at once, capturing the general condition of the organ. This increases the chances of early detection for brain injuries... great or small. The technology was featured in Nature, an international journal for scientific research. Oh Soo-young, Arirang News.
