Pregnancy diagnosis is essential for rabbit's reproductive management. The early identification of non-pregnant rabbits allows for earlier re-insemination, increases the service rate, and reduces the laboring interval in commercial operations. The ob...
Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the spine surface is of strong clinical relevance for the diagnosis and prognosis of spine disorders and intra-operative image guidance. In this paper, we report a new technique to reconstruct lumbar spine su...

Currently, livestock and poultry farming is gradually developing towards modernization and scale, and closed livestock and poultry farms are widely used for poultry feeding management, but at the same time, the farming risks of large-scale farms are ...
Embolization is the prevailing therapy for tumor-targeting, anti-organ hyperfunction, and hemostasis. However, the injection of embolic agents largely depends on the experiences of doctors as assisted by X-ray, which will negate the health of the doc...

OBJECTIVE: Retinal vein cannulation is a technically demanding surgical procedure and its feasibility may rely on using advanced surgical robots equipped with force-sensing microneedles. Reliable detection of the moment of venous puncture is importan...
Untethered small robots with multiple functions show considerable potential as next-generation catheter-free systems for biomedical applications. However, owing to dynamic blood flow, even effective upstream swimming in blood vessels remains a challe...
