Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor delivery device and methods of using the device.SOLUTION: A sensor delivery device 210 includes a sensor that is adapted to obtain a measurement that can be used to calculate cross-sectional area of a surrounding anatomical structure. In certain cases, the sensor is an electrode arrangement, where the electrode arrangement generates a current and measures voltage resulting from the current. The voltage measurement is then used to calculate conductivity of fluid in the surrounding anatomical structure and thus cross-sectional area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】センサ搬送装置とその装置を使用した方法を提供する。【解決手段】センサ搬送装置210は、周囲の解剖学的構造体の断面積を算出するために使用可能な測定値を取得するように構成されるセンサを備える。特定のケースでは、センサは電極装置であり、電極装置が電流を発生させ、その電流に起因する電圧を測定する。次いで、電圧の測定値は周囲の解剖学的構造体内の流体導電度、即ち断面積を算出するために使用される。【選択図】図1
