Computed tomography (CT)-compatible remote center of motion needle steering robot: Fusing CT images and electromagnetic sensor data.

Medical engineering & physics
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...

Joint multiple fully connected convolutional neural network with extreme learning machine for hepatocellular carcinoma nuclei grading.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

A magnetic resonance image-guided breast needle intervention robot system: overview and design considerations.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: We developed an image-guided intervention robot system that can be operated in a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging gantry. The system incorporates a bendable needle intervention robot for breast cancer patients that overcomes the space limitat...

Multimodal US-gamma imaging using collaborative robotics for cancer staging biopsies.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The staging of female breast cancer requires detailed information about the level of cancer spread through the lymphatic system. Common practice to obtain this information for patients with early-stage cancer is sentinel lymph node (SLN) bio...

Toward teleoperated needle steering under continuous MRI guidance for prostate percutaneous interventions.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
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...

Robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Several groups have developed robotic systems for invasive medical procedures. In this article we will focus on selected robotic systems for percutaneous needle-guided interventions using CT or MR imaging. We present six interventional robotic system...

Digital Pathology Quantification of the Continuum of Cirrhosis Severity in Human Liver Biopsies.

Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing fibrosis in cirrhotic livers, yet cirrhosis is spatially heterogeneous and continuously remodels. This study evaluates a novel phenotypic digital pathology platform for continuous f...
