Edge-enhancement densenet for X-ray fluoroscopy image denoising in cardiac electrophysiology procedures.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Reducing X-ray dose increases safety in cardiac electrophysiology procedures but also increases image noise and artifacts which may affect the discernibility of devices and anatomical cues. Previous denoising methods based on convolutional n...

Robot-assisted versus conventional percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation for posterior pelvic ring injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted pelvic screw fixation is a new technology with promising benefits on intraoperative outcomes for patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries. We aim to compare robot-assisted pelvic screw fixation to the traditional fluorosco...

Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Kyphoplasty versus Fluoroscopy-Assisted Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Making surgery as less aggressive as possible is best for elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Recently, we attempted a more precise, minimally invasive, and robot-assisted kyphoplasty in our clinica...

Towards real time guide wire shape extraction in fluoroscopic sequences: A two phase deep learning scheme to extract sparse curvilinear structures.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Real time localization and shape extraction of guide wire in fluoroscopic images plays a significant role in the image guided navigation during cerebral and cardiovascular interventions. Given the complexity of the non-rigid...

Deep learning-based reconstruction of interventional tools and devices from four X-ray projections for tomographic interventional guidance.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Image guidance for minimally invasive interventions is usually performed by acquiring fluoroscopic images using a monoplanar or a biplanar C-arm system. However, the projective data provide only limited information about the spatial structur...

Caudal Epidural Injections in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Comparison of Nonimage, Ultrasonography-, and Fluoroscopy-Guided Techniques. A Randomized Clinical Trial.

The Permanente journal
INTRODUCTION: Caudal epidural injections (CEIs) are widely used in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Imaging modalities, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasonography, are frequently employed to confirm proper needle placement and to prevent p...

Automatic Hyoid Bone Tracking in Real-Time Ultrasound Swallowing Videos Using Deep Learning Based and Correlation Filter Based Trackers.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
(1) Background: Ultrasound provides a radiation-free and portable method for assessing swallowing. Hyoid bone locations and displacements are often used as important indicators for the evaluation of swallowing disorders. However, this requires clinic...

Cryo-balloon catheter localization in X-Ray fluoroscopy using U-net.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Automatic identification of interventional devices in X-ray (XR) fluoroscopy offers the potential of improved navigation during transcatheter endovascular procedures. This paper presents a prototype implementation of fully automatic 3D recon...

Robot-assisted S2 screw fixation for posterior pelvic ring injury.

Injury
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous sacroiliac screw is one of the main methods to treat unstable posterior pelvic ring injury. However, complexity of pelvic anatomical structure increases the difficulty and risk with freehand operation. Besides, S2 screw fixat...
