Deep learning-based autonomous retinal vein cannulation in ex vivo porcine eyes.

Science robotics
Retinal vein cannulation (RVC) is an emerging method for treating retinal vein occlusion (RVO). The success of this procedure depends on surgeon expertise and, recently, robotic assistance. This paper proposes an autonomous RVC workflow leveraging de...

Force and Velocity Based Puncture Detection in Robot Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation: In-Vivo Study.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
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...

Artery-vein segmentation in fundus images using a fully convolutional network.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Epidemiological studies demonstrate that dimensions of retinal vessels change with ocular diseases, coronary heart disease and stroke. Different metrics have been described to quantify these changes in fundus images, with arteriolar and venular calib...

Towards Robot-Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation: A Motorized Force-Sensing Microneedle Integrated with a Handheld Micromanipulator .

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Retinal vein cannulation is a technically demanding surgical procedure where therapeutic agents are injected into the retinal veins to treat occlusions. The clinical feasibility of this approach has been largely limited by the technical challenges as...

Towards a comprehensive characterization of arteries and veins in retinal imaging.

Computers in biology and medicine
Retinal fundus imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring eye diseases, which are often linked to systemic health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Current deep learning techniques often narrowly focus on segmenting retinal blood ve...

Generative Neural Framework for Micro-Vessels Classification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The morphological abnormalities in the retinal blood vessel have a close association with cerebrovascular, cardio-vascular, and systemic diseases. It makes the retinal artery/vein (A/V) classification salient for clinical decision-making. The existin...

A Feasible Workflow for Retinal Vein Cannulation in Ex Vivo Porcine Eyes with Robotic Assistance.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A potential Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) treatment involves Retinal Vein Cannulation (RVC), which requires the surgeon to insert a microneedle into the affected retinal vein and administer a clot-dissolving drug. This procedure presents significant c...
