Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle segmentation in 2D beam-steered ultrasound images. We used a statistical boosting approach to train a p...

Fluorescent Microneedle Sensors Based on Tb@Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks for Real-Time Food Freshness Monitoring.

Inorganic chemistry
As crucial biomarkers of food spoilage, portable and real-time monitoring of the biogenic amines (BAs) is essential to ensuring food safety. In light of this, a ratiometric fluorescent probe (Tb@HOF-BPTC) is developed, which exhibits distinct fluores...

Robotic Assistance for Precise Spinal Injections: Development and Clinical Verification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robot-assisted surgical systems have shown promising results and better patient outcomes in pedicle screw instrumentation and percutaneous needle interventions. Many commercial robotic assistance systems are available for the aforementioned procedure...

Visualization of Surgical Needle Tips Hidden Inside Organs Using Generative Adversarial Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Postoperative complications in surgery are particularly prevalent in laparoscopic procedures, which are difficult for physicians to perform. One complication that is related to the surgical procedure itself is anastomotic leakage, in which the suture...

The Recurrent U-Net for Needle Segmentation in Ultrasound Image-Guided Surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In minimally invasive surgery, poor needle visualization under ultrasound has been one of the challenges of the surgery. To improve the resulting puncture error, it is effective to use deep learning from the image level to assist the surgeon in locat...

A magnetic resonance conditional robot for lumbar spinal injection: Development and preliminary validation.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: This work presents the design and preliminary validation of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) conditional robot for lumbar injection for the treatment of lower back pain.

Design and Evaluation of a Puncture Control Method for the Deflection of Ultrafine Needles due to Interfacial Passage-Proposal of Puncture Control Strategy for Increasing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
With the demand for sophisticated techniques to easily prevent the deflection of needles, robotic CT (computed tomography)-guided puncture with an ultrafine needle is being investigated. Quantification of deflection is essential for accurate puncture...

Individualized Ultrasound-Guided Intervention Phantom Development, Fabrication, and Proof of Concept.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Commercial ultrasound vascular phantoms lack the anatomic diversity required for robust pre-clinical interventional device testing. We fabricated individualized phantoms to test an artificial intelligence enabled ultrasound-guided surgical robotic sy...

[Feasibility analysis of puncture robot technology for the application of acupuncture robot].

Zhongguo zhen jiu = Chinese acupuncture & moxibustion
The difficulties such as how to accurately locate acupoints and safely insert needles are presented in acupuncture robot. The puncture robot with high technological similarity to acupuncture robot is getting mature, and a large number of human trials...

Review of research on path planning and control methods of flexible steerable needle puncture robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In the field of minimally invasive interventional therapy, the related research on the soft tissue puncture robot and its technology based on the flexible steerable needle as a research hot topic at present, and it has been developed rapidly in the p...
