Additional information

<02>Allowing for the first time to rapidly measure the actual stiffness distribution across soft-tissue organs using a frictionless airflow probe, the paper presents an important extension to previous work at King’s (Patent PCT/GB2009/001403; Best paper/poster awards at 24th Engineering and Urology Society Meeting (2009) and 26th World Congress of Endourology (2008)). Departing from earlier airflow sensor technology, the new approach determines force and indentation depth concurrently, capable of generating absolute stiffness maps and identifying buried tumours – a concept created jointly with Dasgupta (Professor of Robotic Surgery and Urological Innovation, Guy’s Hospital London) and GSTT (Guy’s and Saint Thomas Trust).
