PURPOSE: Tumors often have different imaging properties, and there is no single imaging modality that can visualize all tumors. In CT-guided needle placement procedures, image fusion (e.g. with MRI, PET, or contrast CT) is often used as image guidanc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gliomas are highly heterogeneous tumors, and optimal treatment depends on identifying and locating the highest grade disease present. Imaging techniques for doing so are generally not validated against the histopathologic crit...
Limited physical access to target organs of patients inside an MRI scanner is a major obstruction to real-time MRI-guided interventions. Traditional teleoperation technologies are incompatible with the MRI environment and although several solutions h...
PURPOSE: We compared cancer detection rates in patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging cognitive guided micro-ultrasound biopsy vs robotic ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging fusion biopsy for prostate cancer.

The objective of our study was to analyze the feasibility and potential role of robotic-assisted transrectal MRI-guided biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. A total of 57 patients (mean age, 67 ± 6 [SD] years; age range, 57-83 years; mean p...
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to an increase in MRI-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion prostate biopsies, these are time consuming, laborious, and costly. Introduction of deep-learning ...
OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model in detecting pneumothorax on chest radiographs obtained after percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) for pulmonary lesions.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility, safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical impact of real-time intraprocedural F-FDG PET/CT-guided automated robotic arm-assisted biopsy of hypermetabolic marrow or bone lesions.
Image guidance improves tissue sampling during biopsy by allowing the physician to visualize the tip and trajectory of the biopsy needle relative to the target in MRI, CT, ultrasound, or other relevant imagery. This paper reports a system for fast au...
