The MEMS sensors. (a) The sensor was flexible. The dotted circle at the terminal end of sensor was magnified to reveal the polymer-coated sensing element. (b) The schematic diagram detailed the packaging of the polymer sensor to the coaxial wire. The sensor was connected to the electrical coaxial wire with conductive epoxy and covered with biocompatible epoxy. The distance between the sensing element and the tip of the catheter was 4 cm. (c) Illustration revealed a packaged sensor to the coaxial wire. (d) Angiogram enabled visualization of the catheter position.
