Abstract

The paper considers a device in which information about the presence of a foreign body a fragment in a wound is obtained using a special compact sensor: a mechanical elastic flexible rod, which is placed in a protective soft tube and connected to a sealed chamber, one of the walls of which is a membrane capable of converting the vibrations of the rod into sound waves, which, propagating in the chamber, are recorded by a microphone. Mounted in a convenient housing, the sensor is connected to sound frequency filters (up to 15 kHz) via an amplifying link and allows you to obtain a noise signal, based on which you can detect the contact of the rod with a foreign body during its movement in the patient's wound. The difference in the spectrum patterns suggests that such a device can be used not only to detect foreign bodies, but also to identify them.
The use of neural networks and artificial intelligence algorithms significantly improves the accuracy of foreign body detection, especially for small objects and those whose rheological properties are similar to the patient's tissue. Thus, with the appropriate adjustment of the device, the accuracy of foreign body diagnosis is currently up to 65–95 % for bodies larger than 3.5–5.0 mm; higher accuracy is observed when detecting bodies with pronounced elastic properties.
It has been shown that the use of this device allows obtaining information about the presence of a foreign body (due to the appearance of separate clearly defined signal peaks), while the absence of foreign bodies gives a picture of noise emission distribution close to the Gaussian distribution; about the type of foreign body. The shape of the pattern allows one to assess the type of foreign inclusion (more elastic bodies have more pronounced frequency spikes); to estimate the approximate size of the body: larger bodies are in contact with the probe for a longer time as it moves.
