In situ tissue classification during laser ablation using acoustic signals.

Journal of biophotonics
We suggest a novel method to classify the type of tissue that is being ablated, using the recorded acoustic sound waves during pulsed ultraviolet laser ablation. The motivation of the current research is tissue classification during vascular interven...

Robotic laser osteotomy through penscriptive structured light visual servoing.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Planning osteotomies is a task that surgeons do as part of standard surgical workflow. This task, however, becomes more difficult and less intuitive when a robot is tasked with performing the osteotomy. In this study, we aim to provide a new...

Comparative microstructural analysis of bone osteotomies after cutting by computer-assisted robot-guided laser osteotome and piezoelectric osteotome: an in vivo animal study.

Lasers in medical science
Most industrial laser applications utilize computer and robot assistance, for guidance, safety, repeatability, and precision. In contrast, medical applications using laser systems are mostly conducted manually. The advantages can be effective only wh...

Respiratory motion compensation for the robot-guided laser osteotome.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The use of a robot-guided laser osteotome for median sternotomy is impeded by prohibiting cutting inaccuracies due to respiration-induced motions of the thorax. With this paper, we advance today's methodologies in sternotomy procedures by in...

Improvement in Laser-Irradiation Efficiency of Robot-Assisted Laser Hair Removal Through Pose Measurement of Skin Surface.

Photomedicine and laser surgery
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to improve the performance of an automatic laser hair removal (LHR) system by applying an algorithm that considers the curve and slant of the skin surface.

A novel robotic platform for laser-assisted transurethral surgery of the prostate.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common pathology afflicting ageing men. The gold standard for the surgical treatment of BPH is transurethral resection of the prostate. The laser-assisted transurethral surgical treatment of BPH is recen...

Treatment of Porphyria Cutanea Tarda Scarring With Combination Laser Treatment and a Pilot Use of Artificial Intelligence to Quantify Laser Results.

Journal of cosmetic dermatology
BACKGROUND: Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is the most common subtype of porphyria and results from a deficiency of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. Even after successful treatment, patients can be left with significant scarring, and there i...

Leveraging machine learning for preoperative prediction of supramaximal ablation in laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain tumors.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Maximizing safe resection in neuro-oncology has become paramount to improving patient survival and outcomes. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) offers similar survival benefits to traditional resection, alongside shorter hospital st...

Deep learning for precision medicine: Guiding laser therapy in ischemic retinal diseases.

Cell reports. Medicine
In this issue of Cell Reports Medicine, Zhao and colleagues report a multi-tasking artificial intelligence system that can assist the whole process of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) imaging and reduce the reliance on retinal specialists in FFA ...
