Deep Learning for High Speed Optical Coherence Elastography With a Fiber Scanning Endoscope.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Tissue stiffness is related to soft tissue pathologies and can be assessed through palpation or via clinical imaging systems, e.g., ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Typically, the image based approaches are not suitable during interventions,...

A generic scope actuation system for flexible endoscopes.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: A scope actuation system assists a surgeon in steering a scope for navigating an operative field during an interventional or diagnostic procedure. Each system is tailored for a specific surgical procedure. The development of a generic sco...

Using robotics to move a neurosurgeon's hands to the tip of their endoscope.

Science robotics
A major advantage of surgical robots is that they can reduce the invasiveness of a procedure by enabling the clinician to manipulate tools as they would in open surgery but through small incisions in the body. Neurosurgery has yet to benefit from thi...

User interfaces for actuated scope maneuvering in surgical systems: a scoping review.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: A variety of human computer interfaces are used by robotic surgical systems to control and actuate camera scopes during minimally invasive surgery. The purpose of this review is to examine the different user interfaces used in both commer...

Real-time fundus reconstruction and intraocular mapping using an ophthalmic endoscope.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robotic ophthalmic endoscope holders allow surgeons to execute dual-hand operations in eye surgery. To prevent needle-like endoscopes from invading the retina when moving, surgeons expect visual and real-time information about the relativ...

Neural Network-Based Active Load-Sensing Scheme and Stiffness Adjustment for Pneumatic Soft Actuators for Minimally Invasive Surgery Support.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
To provide a stable surgical view in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), it is necessary for a flexible endoscope applied in MIS to have adjustable stiffness to resist different external loads from surrounding organs and tissues. Pneumatic soft actuato...

Computer-aided classification of colorectal segments during colonoscopy: a deep learning approach based on images of a magnetic endoscopic positioning device.

Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology
OBJECTIVE: Assessment of the anatomical colorectal segment of polyps during colonoscopy is important for treatment and follow-up strategies, but is largely operator dependent. This feasibility study aimed to assess whether, using images of a magnetic...

A New Robotic Endoscope Holder for Ear and Sinus Surgery with an Integrated Safety Device.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the field of sinus and ear surgery, and more generally in microsurgery, the surgeon is faced with several challenges. The operations are traditionally carried out under binocular loupes, which allows for the surgeon to use both hands for a microin...

Robotics in therapeutic endoscopy (with video).

Gastrointestinal endoscopy
Since its inception, endoscopy has evolved from a solely diagnostic procedure to an expanding therapeutic field within gastroenterology. The incorporation of robotics in gastroenterology initially addressed shortcomings of flexible endoscopes in natu...

Intuitive endoscopic robot master device with image orientation correction.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The camera of an endoscope is fixed to the device, and the image rotates together with the endoscope. This can lead to visual confusion for the user and incorrect image reading. The problem also occurs with endoscopic robots. Using a mast...
