Precise patient positioning is paramount in radiosurgery to ensure the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This study focuses on the development and validation of a robust forward kinematics (FK) model...
Delicate manual microsurgeries rely on sufficient hands-on experience for safe manipulations. Automated surgical devices can enhance the effectiveness, but developing high-resolution, multi-axis force-sensing devices for micro operations remains chal...
We propose a robot-assisted method to generate spherical thermal lesions by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. Typically, HIFU-induced thermal lesions are cigar-shaped because the acoustic field in the focal area has a similar elongat...
Diagnostic and interventional imaging
Jan 29, 2025
PURPOSE: Navigation and robotic systems aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of percutaneous image-guided interventions, but the evaluation of their autonomy and integration of advanced imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) is lacking. The p...
UNLABELLED: Since the introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, efforts have been made to incorporate force sensing technologies to monitor critical components and to provide force feedback. The advanced laparoscopic robotic system (AdLap ...
Fiber posts present significant challenges for nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, as improper removal may result in iatrogenic root perforation or even root fracture. Recently, robotic technology has attracted considerable attention in dentistry and...
Instance segmentation of surgical instruments is a long-standing research problem, crucial for the development of many applications for computer-assisted surgery. This problem is commonly tackled via fully-supervised training of deep learning models,...
