Abstract

BACKGROUND: In recent years, computer-assisted intervention and robot-assisted surgery are receiving increasing attention. The need for real-time identification and tracking of surgical tools and tool tips is constantly demanding. A series of researches focusing on surgical tool tracking and identification have been performed. However, the size of dataset, the sensitivity/precision, and the response time of these studies were limited. In this work, we developed and utilized an automated method based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and You Only Look Once (YOLO) v3 algorithm to locate and identify surgical tools and tool tips covering five different surgical scenarios.
