Using the MEDiPORT humanoid robot to reduce procedural pain and distress in children with cancer: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Pediatric blood & cancer
BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous port needle insertions are painful and distressing for children with cancer. The interactive MEDiPORT robot has been programmed to implement psychological strategies to decrease pain and distress during this procedure. This s...

Robotic-assisted transradial diagnostic coronary angiography.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
Robotic percutaneous coronary interventions have recently been introduced in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Robotics offers benefits of greater precision for stent placement and occupational hazard protection for operators and staff. First g...

Robot-assisted needle insertion for venous catheterization.

Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
Vein access can be challenging for a variety of patients. The development of robots-assisted central or peripheral veins puncture would facilitate life of health professionals and patients. New robots are under development for this purpose and probab...

Lumbar Ultrasound Image Feature Extraction and Classification with Support Vector Machine.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Needle entry site localization remains a challenge for procedures that involve lumbar puncture, for example, epidural anesthesia. To solve the problem, we have developed an image classification algorithm that can automatically identify the bone/inter...

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...

[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...

A systematic review of image-guided, surgical robot-assisted percutaneous puncture: Challenges and benefits.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
Percutaneous puncture is a common medical procedure that involves accessing an internal organ or tissue through the skin. Image guidance and surgical robots have been increasingly used to assist with percutaneous procedures, but the challenges and be...

Learning Needle Placement in Soft Tissue With Robot-assisted Navigation.

In vivo (Athens, Greece)
BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this phantom study was to evaluate the learning curves of novices practicing how to place a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided needle using a novel robotic assistance system (RAS).

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...

Development of Needle Guide Unit Considering Buckling Bone-Perforation Control Strategy Based on Computed Tomography-Guided Needle Insertion Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system is useful for needle insertion into metastatic carcinoma of vertebrae, which has limited pathways. However, the use of conventional needles in this procedure can result in bone fracture in t...
