BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a positioning method with hand-guiding and contact position feedback of robot based on a human-robot collaborative dental implant system (HRCDIS) for robotic guided dental implant surg...
Image-guided surgery (IGS) allows for accurate, real-time localization of subsurface critical structures during surgery. No prior IGS systems have described a feasible method of intraoperative reregistration after manipulation of the kidney during r...
BACKGROUND: Robotic guidance (RG) pedicle screw placement has been increasingly used to improve the rate of insertion accuracy. However, the superiority of the RG technique over computer-assisted navigation (CAN) remains debatable.
