BACKGROUND: Vascular interventions imply radiation exposure to the operating physician (OP). To reduce radiation exposure, we propose a novel passive robotic device for fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncturing.
PURPOSE: Real-time image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART) requires accurate marker segmentation to resolve three-dimensional (3D) motion based on two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic images. Most common marker segmentation methods require prior...

PURPOSE: To improve respiratory gating accuracy and treatment throughput, we developed a fluoroscopic markerless tumor tracking algorithm based on a deep neural network (DNN).
The goal of this study was to develop and validate a non-invasive approach to estimate scapular kinematics in individual patients. We hypothesized that machine learning algorithms could be developed using motion capture data to accurately estimate dy...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical accuracy and perioperative outcomes for pedicle screw placement in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) between the robot-assisted (RA) technique and fluoroscopy-guided (FG) technique.
OBJECTIVEIntravertebral augmentation (IVA) is a reliable minimally invasive technique for treating Magerl type A vertebral body fractures. However, poor correction of kyphotic angulation, the risk of cement leakage, and significant exposure to radiat...
The displacement of the hyoid bone is one of the key components evaluated in the swallow study, as its motion during swallowing is related to overall swallowing integrity. In daily research settings, experts visually detect the hyoid bone in the vide...
Robustness to obstacles is the most important factor necessary to achieve accurate tumor tracking without fiducial markers. Some high-density structures, such as bone, are enhanced on X-ray fluoroscopic images, which cause tumor mistracking. Tumor tr...
OBJECTIVES: The outcomes of catheter ablation in focal atrial tachycardia (AT) using remote magnetic navigation (RMN) are still controversial. The objectives of this study were to assess the acute and long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in focal ...
