INTRODUCTION: To compare the pre- and post-operative Gleason scores (GS) in patients with localized prostate cancer treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death, and early detection can reduce the mortality rate. Patients with lung nodules greater than 10 mm usually undergo a computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy. However, aligning the needle with...
Accurate cell grading of cancerous tissue pathological image is of great importance in medical diagnosis and treatment. This paper proposes a joint multiple fully connected convolutional neural network with extreme learning machine (MFC-CNN-ELM) arch...

BACKGROUND: To propose a human-operated in-room master-slave bevel-tip needle steering system under continuous MRI guidance for prostate biopsy, in which the patient is kept in the scanner at all times and the process of needle placement is under con...
Laparoscopic resection of liver tumors located in the posterosuperior segments is a challenging operation that could be facilitated by robotic assistance. Laparoscopic resection of 12 tumors located in posterosuperior segments (IVa: 1; VII: 5; VIII: ...
