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...
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...

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...
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.

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...
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...
BACKGROUND: Consumers are searching for a solution to rejuvenate the eye area. Surgical blepharoplasties are a common solution, but they lack improvement in skin quality.
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...
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 ...
