Safety and Accuracy of Robot-Assisted Cervical Screw Placement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted (RA) cervical screw placement with conventional freehand (FH) technique.

Deep learning-based scan range optimization can reduce radiation exposure in coronary CT angiography.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is essential in diagnosing coronary heart disease. However, a disadvantage is the associated radiation exposure to the patient which depends in part on the scan range. This study aimed to develop a deep ne...

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography with Deep Learning Image Reconstruction: A Preliminary Study to Evaluate Radiation Exposure Reduction.

Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.)
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a medical imaging technique that produces detailed images of the coronary arteries. Our work focuses on the optimization of the prospectively ECG-triggered scan technique, which delivers the radiatio...

Equivalent radiation exposure with robotic total hip replacement using a novel, fluoroscopic-guided (CT-free) system: case-control study versus manual technique.

Journal of robotic surgery
Accurate and precise positioning of the acetabular cup remains a prevalent challenge in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Robotic assistance for THA has increased over the past decade due to the potential to improve the accuracy of implant placement. How...

Deep-learning reconstruction for ultra-low-dose lung CT: Volumetric measurement accuracy and reproducibility of artificial ground-glass nodules in a phantom study.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVES: The lung nodule volume determined by CT is used for nodule diagnoses and monitoring tumor responses to therapy. Increased image noise on low-dose CT degrades the measurement accuracy of the lung nodule volume. We compared the volumetric a...

CycleGAN for interpretable online EMT compensation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can partially replace X-ray guidance in minimally invasive procedures, reducing radiation in the OR. However, in this hybrid setting, EMT is disturbed by metallic distortion caused by the X-ray device. We plan ...

Artificial intelligence enables whole-body positron emission tomography scans with minimal radiation exposure.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: To generate diagnostic F-FDG PET images of pediatric cancer patients from ultra-low-dose F-FDG PET input images, using a novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm.

Robot-assisted S2 screw fixation for posterior pelvic ring injury.

Injury
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous sacroiliac screw is one of the main methods to treat unstable posterior pelvic ring injury. However, complexity of pelvic anatomical structure increases the difficulty and risk with freehand operation. Besides, S2 screw fixat...

Leveraging spatial uncertainty for online error compensation in EMT.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can potentially complement fluoroscopic navigation, reducing radiation exposure in a hybrid setting. Due to the susceptibility to external distortions, systematic error in EMT needs to be compensated algorithmi...
