Healthy Volunteer Visibility Study of Micromachined Tags for the Detection of Surgical Sponges
| Status: | Withdrawn |

| Healthy: | No |
| Age Range: | 18 - Any |

| Start Date: | July 2013 |
| End Date: | August 2015 |
Surgical sponges can be accidentally left inside patient's bodies. We are working on special
tags (called microfabricated tags) that surgeons can put on their sponges. Then, if the
surgeons forget to remove a sponge from a patient, they'll be able to detect these special
tags in an x-ray.

tags lying on them. The x-rays will help us improve our system for detecting sponges left
inside people's bodies.
