Dynamic modeling of breast tissue with application of model reference adaptive system identification technique based on clinical robot-assisted palpation.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
Accurate identification of breast tissue's dynamic behavior in physical examination is critical to successful diagnosis and treatment. In this study a model reference adaptive system identification (MRAS) algorithm is utilized to estimate the dynamic...

An Instant Tumor Detection Method for Ex-vivo Tissue Palpation Utilizing Self-learning High-density Flexible Tactile Sensor Array Based on Attention Mechanism Neural Network.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper reports an innovative and instant method for tumor detection. We delineate the tactile signal matrixes of tumor tissue with varying stiffness utilizing self-learning high-density flexible tactile sensor array, and depict the morphological ...

Development of a tendon driven robotic probe for prostate palpation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Palpation is a clinical diagnosis method utilized by physicians to acquire valuable information about the pathological condition of an organ using the sense of touch. This method, however, is subjective. The accuracy depends on the physician's experi...

Characterizing Limits of Vision-Based Force Feedback in Simulated Surgical Tool-Tissue Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Haptic feedback can render real-time force interactions with computer simulated objects. In several telerobotic applications, it is desired that a haptic simulation reflects a physical task space or interaction accurately. This is particularly true w...

Palpation-Based Multi-Tumor Detection Method Considering Moving Distance for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A novel palpation-based tumor detection method for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) is proposed in this paper. A tactile stiffness sensor based on piezoelectric vibration is designed to detect tissue stiffness just by gentle contactin...
