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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
(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...

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...
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...
