Automated catheter tip repositioning for intra-cardiac echocardiography.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Intra-Cardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is a powerful imaging modality for guiding cardiac electrophysiology and structural heart interventions. ICE provides real-time observation of anatomy and devices, while enabling direct monitoring of pote...

Human colorectal cancer tissue assessment using optical coherence tomography catheter and deep learning.

Journal of biophotonics
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can differentiate normal colonic mucosa from neoplasia, potentially offering a new mechanism of endoscopic tissue assessment and biopsy targeting, with a high optical resolution and an imaging depth of ~1 mm. Recent...

The challenges facing deep learning-based catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Automated catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy faces challenges relating to imaging noise and artifacts. To date, catheter reconstruction during the clinical procedure is performed manually. De...

A technical guide to robotic catheter angiography with the Corindus CorPath GRX system.

Journal of neurointerventional surgery
Robotic catheter angiography is an emerging technology with the opportunity to increase procedural precision and decrease occupational hazards.1-5 In this video, we present our initial experiences with the CorPath GRX Robotic System (Corindus, a Seim...

Screening of factors influencing catheter rotation of a vascular interventional surgical robot using design of experiment approach.

Medical engineering & physics
Over the past decades, Vascular Interventional Surgery Robots (VISR) have been developed to address the risks associated with X-rays used in minimally invasive vascular surgery procedures. Manipulation of over-the-wire catheters is necessary to perfo...

Weakly-supervised learning for catheter segmentation in 3D frustum ultrasound.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Accurate and efficient catheter segmentation in 3D ultrasound (US) is essential for ultrasound-guided cardiac interventions. State-of-the-art segmentation algorithms, based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), suffer from high computational cost ...

Deep-learning-assisted algorithm for catheter reconstruction during MR-only gynecological interstitial brachytherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers excellent soft-tissue contrast enabling the contouring of targets and organs at risk during gynecological interstitial brachytherapy procedure. Despite its advantage, one of the main obstacles preventing a tran...

Thermoset Shape Memory Polymer Variable Stiffness 4D Robotic Catheters.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Variable stiffness catheters are typically composed of an encapsulated core. The core is usually composed of a low melting point alloy (LMPA) or a thermoplastic polymer (TP). In both cases, there is a need to encapsulate the core with an elastic mate...

Catheter position prediction using deep-learning-based multi-atlas registration for high-dose rate prostate brachytherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: High-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy involves treatment catheter placement, which is currently empirical and physician dependent. The lack of proper catheter placement guidance during the procedure has left the physicians to rely on a...

Ferromagnetic soft catheter robots for minimally invasive bioprinting.

Nature communications
In vivo bioprinting has recently emerged as a direct fabrication technique to create artificial tissues and medical devices on target sites within the body, enabling advanced clinical strategies. However, existing in vivo bioprinting methods are ofte...
