Real-Time Tissue Classification Using a Novel Optical Needle Probe for Biopsy.

Applied spectroscopy
Core needle biopsy is a part of the histopathological process, which is required for cancerous tissue examination. The most common method to guide the needle inside of the body is ultrasound screening, which in greater part is also the only guidance ...

Realization and Control of Robotic Injection Prototype With Instantaneous Remote Center of Motion Mechanism.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Although there have been studies conducted on the instantaneous remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism, the general closed-loop control method has not been studied. Thus, this article fills that gap and employs the advantages of this mech...

Advancements in microneedle fabrication techniques: artificial intelligence assisted 3D-printing technology.

Drug delivery and translational research
Microneedles (MNs) are micron-scale needles that are a painless alternative to injections for delivering drugs through the skin. MNs find applications as biosensing devices and could serve as real-time diagnosis tools. There have been numerous fabric...

Artificial intelligence for automatic classification of needle EMG signals: A scoping review.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: This scoping review provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including machine and deep learning techniques, in the interpretation of clinical needle electromyography (nEMG) signals.

Robust stochastic optimization of needle configurations for robotic HDR prostate brachytherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Ideally, inverse planning for HDR brachytherapy (BT) should include the pose of the needles which define the trajectory of the source. This would be particularly interesting when considering the additional freedom and accuracy in needle p...

Percutaneous Robotics in Interventional Radiology.

Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology
The accuracy of the robotic device not only relies on a reproducible needle advancement, but also on the possibility to correct target movement at chosen checkpoints and to deviate from a linear to a nonlinear trajectory. We report our experience in ...

Autonomous medical needle steering in vivo.

Science robotics
The use of needles to access sites within organs is fundamental to many interventional medical procedures both for diagnosis and treatment. Safely and accurately navigating a needle through living tissue to a target is currently often challenging or ...

Application of Medical Image Navigation Technology in Minimally Invasive Puncture Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Microneedle puncture is a standard minimally invasive treatment and surgical method, which is widely used in extracting blood, tissues, and their secretions for pathological examination, needle-puncture-directed drug therapy, local anaesthesia, micro...

Bridging the simulation-to-real gap for AI-based needle and target detection in robot-assisted ultrasound-guided interventions.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, robot-assisted, and ultrasound (US)-guided interventional radiology has the potential to increase the efficacy and cost-efficiency of interventional procedures while improving postsurgical outcomes an...

A semi-automated robotic system for percutaneous interventions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: A robotic assistive device is developed for needle-based percutaneous interventions. The aim is a hybrid system using both manual and actuated robotic operation in order to obtain a device that has a large workspace but can still fit in the ...
