A machine learning-based analysis for the definition of an optimal renal biopsy for kidney cancer.

Urologic oncology
OBJECTIVE: Renal Tumor biopsy (RTB) can assist clinicians in determining the most suitable approach for treatment of renal cancer. However, RTB's limitations in accurately determining histology and grading have hindered its broader adoption and data ...

Artificial Intelligence-Guided Segmentation and Path Planning Software for Transthoracic Lung Biopsy.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To validate the sensitivity and specificity of a 3-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network (CNN) artificial intelligence (AI) software for lung lesion detection and to establish concordance between AI-generated needle paths and those u...

Ultrasound Probe and Hand-Eye Calibrations for Robot-Assisted Needle Biopsy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In robot-assisted ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, it is essential to conduct calibration of the ultrasound probe and to perform hand-eye calibration of the robot in order to establish a link between intra-operatively acquired ultrasound images and r...

Deep Learning for Detecting Pneumothorax on Chest Radiographs after Needle Biopsy: Clinical Implementation.

Radiology
Background Accurate detection of pneumothorax on chest radiographs, the most common complication of percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsies (PTNBs), is not always easy in practice. A computer-aided detection (CAD) system may help detect pneumothor...

Concurrently bendable and rotatable continuum tubular robot for omnidirectional multi-core transurethral prostate biopsy.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
A transurethral prostate biopsy device is proposed in this paper, which can shoot a biopsy needle at different angles to take samples from multiple locations within the prostate. Firstly, the traditional prostate biopsy methods, including transrectal...

Robotic guidance platform for laser interstitial thermal ablation and stereotactic needle biopsies: a single center experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
While laser ablation has become an increasingly important tool in the neurosurgical oncologist's armamentarium, deep seated lesions, and those located near critical structures require utmost accuracy during stereotactic laser catheter placement. Robo...

Toward autonomous robotic prostate biopsy: a pilot study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: We present the validation of PROST, a robotic device for prostate biopsy. PROST is designed to minimize human error by introducing some autonomy in the execution of the key steps of the procedure, i.e., target selection, image fusion and nee...

Thyroid Incidentalomas: Practice Considerations for Radiologists in the Age of Incidental Findings.

Radiologic clinics of North America
Radiologists very frequently encounter incidental findings related to the thyroid gland. Given increases in imaging use over the past several decades, thyroid incidentalomas are increasingly encountered in clinical practice, and it is important for r...
