DEVICE FOR TRANSMISSION AND REPRODUCTION OF TACTILE IMAGE OF TISSUE STATE IN ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B1/00 G01N29/00 G06T7/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. Device contains endoscope with sensors of tissue density, sensors of tissue density being sensors of pressure, tactile matrix, consisting of multitude of cells made on the single common base and containing partitions, into which ferromagnetic dividing inserts are built-in, tactile matrix screen, control matrix, consisting of multitude of cells, located on common base and containing cores, on which windings are located, measuring amplifiers, inlet commutator, first and second amplifiers, which regulated coefficient of amplification, first and second multipliers, adder of control signal, adder of total pressure, unit of indication of total pressure value, regulator of total pressure level, regulator of contrast, input commutator, unit of synchronisation, cells of inlet signals memory. Base, partitions and screen of tactile matrix form hermetic chamber, filled with magnetic liquid, tactile matrix is connected with control matrix by means of centering hollows under each cell in tactile matrix base and protrusions of cores of control matrix cells.

EFFECT: application of device makes it possible to extend functional possibilities of device of transmission and reproduction of tactile image of tissue state in endoscopic examination with display of tactile information for perception by doctor's hand.
