Passive Radio Telemetry for the Measurement of Intracranial Pressure

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure

Abstract

The need for a technique that would permit the continuous measurement of physiologic pressure variations while being free of external leads led to the development of radiofrequency endoradiosondes [1]. Although many measurements can be made with internally powered active endoradiosondes, the measurement of intracranial pressure requires a minute passive device.
