Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
PURPOSE: Radioactive seed implantation is an effective invasive treatment method for malignant liver tumors in hepatocellular carcinomas. However, challenges of the manual procedure may degrade the efficacy of the technique, such as the high accuracy requirement and radiation exposure to the surgeons. This paper aims to develop a robotic system and its control methods for assisting surgeons on the...
The future of robotic ophthalmologic surgery looks promising. Innovations in robotic technology and artificial intelligence may provide an ideal machine-human interface with planned and precise movements minimizing unwanted tissue damage and improving clinical outcomes.
Producing manual, pixel-accurate, image segmentation labels is tedious and time-consuming. This is often a rate-limiting factor when large amounts of ...
In the aging world population, the occurrence of neuromotor deficits arising from stroke and other medical conditions is expected to grow, demanding t...
Frictional sliding between patterned surfaces is of fundamental and practical importance in the haptic engineering of soft materials. In emerging appl...
