Design and Evaluation of Augmented Reality-Enhanced Robotic System for Epidural Interventions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The epidural injection is a medical intervention to inject therapeutics directly into the vicinity of the spinal cord for pain management. Because of its proximity to the spinal cord, imprecise insertion of the needle may result in irreversible damag...

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...

Toward Autonomous Marker Localization for Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study compares the effectiveness of the traditional minimum circle detection strategy, i.e. Welzl's algorithm, and the state-of-the-art nnU-Net in the localization of lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) robot markers across different imaging...

Deep Learning Algorithm Trained on Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Predict Outcomes of Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection for Chronic Lumbosacral Radicular Pain.

Pain physician
BACKGROUND: Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) are widely used to alleviate lumbosacral radicular pain. Knowledge of the therapeutic outcomes of TFESI allows clinicians to elucidate therapeutic plans for managing lumbosacral radicular...
