The impact of robot-assisted spine surgeries on clinical outcomes: A systemic review and meta-analysis.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Medical robotics has enabled a significant advancement in the field of modern spine surgery, especially in pedicle screw fixation. A plethora of studies focused on the accuracy of pedicle fixation in robotic-assisted (RA) technology. Howe...

A novel fluoroscopy-based robot system for pedicle screw fixation surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion has gained popularity in the spinal surgery field. Due to high cost, these spinal robots are not extensively applied in clinical surgeries. Developing an effective robot system with low cost and high...

Bone shadow segmentation from ultrasound data for orthopedic surgery using GAN.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Real-time, two (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) has been investigated as a potential alternative to fluoroscopy imaging in various surgical and non-surgical orthopedic procedures. However, low signal to noise ratio, imaging ar...

Toward automatic C-arm positioning for standard projections in orthopedic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Guidance and quality control in orthopedic surgery increasingly rely on intra-operative fluoroscopy using a mobile C-arm. The accurate acquisition of standardized and anatomy-specific projections is essential in this process. The correspondi...

Leveraging spatial uncertainty for online error compensation in EMT.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can potentially complement fluoroscopic navigation, reducing radiation exposure in a hybrid setting. Due to the susceptibility to external distortions, systematic error in EMT needs to be compensated algorithmi...

A machine learning-based real-time tumor tracking system for fluoroscopic gating of lung radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
To improve respiratory-gated radiotherapy accuracy, we developed a machine learning approach for markerless tumor tracking and evaluated it using lung cancer patient data. Digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) datasets were generated using planni...

Catheter segmentation in X-ray fluoroscopy using synthetic data and transfer learning with light U-nets.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Background and objectivesAutomated segmentation and tracking of surgical instruments and catheters under X-ray fluoroscopy hold the potential for enhanced image guidance in catheter-based endovascular procedures. This article presents a novel method ...

Real-time markerless tumour tracking with patient-specific deep learning using a personalised data generation strategy: proof of concept by phantom study.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: For real-time markerless tumour tracking in stereotactic lung radiotherapy, we propose a different approach which uses patient-specific deep learning (DL) using a personalised data generation strategy, avoiding the need for collection of a...

Dynamic coronary roadmapping via catheter tip tracking in X-ray fluoroscopy with deep learning based Bayesian filtering.

Medical image analysis
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is typically performed with image guidance using X-ray angiograms in which coronary arteries are opacified with X-ray opaque contrast agents. Interventional cardiologists typically navigate instruments using n...

Adaptive weighted log subtraction based on neural networks for markerless tumor tracking using dual-energy fluoroscopy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To present a novel method, based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), to automate weighted log subtraction (WLS) for dual-energy (DE) fluoroscopy to be used in conjunction with markerless tumor tracking (MTT).
