A Soft Robotic Balloon Endoscope for Airway Procedures.

Soft robotics
Soft robots can provide advantages for medical interventions given their low cost and their ability to change shape and safely apply forces to tissue. This article explores the potential for their use for endoscopically-guided balloon dilation proced...

Guide-Wired Helical Microrobot for Percutaneous Revascularization in Chronic Total Occlusion in-Vivo Validation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: For the revascularization in small vessels such as coronary arteries, we present a guide-wired helical microrobot mimicking the corkscrew motion for mechanical atherectomy that enables autonomous therapeutics and minimizing the radiation e...

Neuromate robot-assisted ventricular catheter insertion.

British journal of neurosurgery
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Insertion of ventricular catheters into small ventricles may require image guidance. Several options exist, including ultrasound guidance, frameless, and frame-based stereotactic approaches. There is no literature on manage...

Artificial intelligence-assisted analysis of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography image for identifying ampulla and difficulty of selective cannulation.

Scientific reports
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has facilitated its application in medical fields. However, there has been little research for AI-assisted endoscopy, despite the clinical significance of the efficiency and safety of cannulation in the...

Assessment of the Acceptability and Feasibility of Using Mobile Robotic Systems for Patient Evaluation.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Before the widespread implementation of robotic systems to provide patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic occurs, it is important to understand the acceptability of these systems among patients and the economic consequences associated ...

Proximal detection of guide wire perforation using feature extraction from bispectral audio signal analysis combined with machine learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
Artery perforation during a vascular catheterization procedure is a potentially life threatening event. It is of particular importance for the surgeons to be aware of hidden or non-obvious events. To minimize the impact it is crucial for the surgeon ...

A Magnetically Controlled Soft Microrobot Steering a Guidewire in a Three-Dimensional Phantom Vascular Network.

Soft robotics
Magnetically actuated soft robots may improve the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Significant progress has been made in the development of soft robotic systems that steer catheters. A more challenging task, however, is the develo...

A marker-based contactless catheter-sensing method to detect surgeons' operations for catheterization training systems.

Biomedical microdevices
It is challenging to position a catheter or a guidewire within a patient's complicated and delicate vascular structure due to the lack of intuitive visual feedback by only manipulating the proximal part of the surgical instruments. Training is theref...

Real-time microrobot posture recognition via biplane X-ray imaging system for external electromagnetic actuation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: As a promising intravascular therapeutic approach for autonomous catheterization, especially for thrombosis treatment, a microrobot or robotic catheter driven by an external electromagnetic actuation system has been recently investigated. Ho...
