Medical needles in the hands of AI: Advancing toward autonomous robotic navigation.

Science robotics
Safely and accurately navigating needles percutaneously or endoscopically to sites deep within the body is essential for many medical procedures, from biopsies to localized drug deliveries to tumor ablations. The advent of image guidance decades ago ...

Revolutionizing biosensing with wearable microneedle patches: innovations and applications.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Wearable microneedle (MN) patches have emerged as a transformative platform for biosensing, offering a minimally invasive and user-friendly approach to real-time health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Primarily designed to access interstitial fluid...

Development of a Low-Profile, Piezoelectric Robot for MR-Guided Abdominal Needle Interventions.

Annals of biomedical engineering
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...

Developing a deep learning model for the automated monitoring of acupuncture needle insertion: enhancing safety in traditional acupuncture practices.

BMC complementary medicine and therapies
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture is a widely practiced traditional therapy, yet safety concerns, particularly needle breakage and retention, remain critical issues that can lead to complications such as infections, organ injury, or chronic pain. This study ai...

Augmented Intelligence-Based Interference Pattern Analysis (AI-IPA) in Concentric Needle Electromyography.

Muscle & nerve
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: To add objectivity to the routine needle electromyography examination, we describe an "Augmented Intelligence" based interference pattern (IP) analysis method that mimics the subjective assessment by quantifying IP fullness, discre...

Robot-Assisted CT-Guided Biopsy with an Artificial Intelligence-Based Needle-Path Generator: An Experimental Evaluation Using a Phantom Model.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of a robotic system with artificial intelligence-based lesion detection and path planning for computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy compared with the conventional freehand technique.

Clinical Application of Deep Learning-Assisted Needles Reconstruction in Prostate Ultrasound Brachytherapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: High dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (BT) procedure requires image-guided needle insertion. Given that general anesthesia is often employed during the procedure, minimizing overall planning time is crucial. In this study, we explore t...

Machine learning-assisted implantable plant electrophysiology microneedle sensor for plant stress monitoring.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Plant electrical signals serve as a medium for long-distance signal transmission and are intricately linked to plant stress responses. High-fidelity acquisition and analysis of plant electrophysiological signals contribute to early stress identificat...

Optimization of percutaneous intervention robotic system for skin insertion force.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Percutaneous puncture is a common interventional procedure, and its effectiveness is influenced by the insertion force of the needle. To optimize outcomes, we focus on reducing the peak force of the needle in the skin, aiming to apply this m...
