PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a robotic system to integrate and map computed tomography (CT) and robotic coordinates, followed by automatic trajectory execution by a robotic arm. The system was hypothesized to achieve a targeti...
OBJECTIVE: One of the major difficulties in spinal surgery is the injury of important tissues caused by tissue misclassification, which is the source of surgical complications. Accurate recognization of the tissues is the key to increase safety and e...

Due to the low detection precision and poor robustness, the traditional pig-posture and behavior detection method is difficult to apply in the complex pig captivity environment. In this regard, we designed the HE-Yolo (High-effect Yolo) model, which ...
In this work, a dedicated end-to-end deep convolutional neural network, named as Triple-CBCT, is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of reconstructing three different material distribution volumes from the dual-energy CBCT projection data.In Trip...
Visual discrimination of tissue during surgery can be challenging since different tissues appear similar to the human eye. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) removes this limitation by associating each pixel with high-dimensional spectral information. While...
Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic bacterial pathogen posing a threat to the pig industry as well as public health, for which the mechanisms of growth and cell division remain largely unknown. Developing convenient genetic tools that can ach...

BACKGROUND: Bone regeneration in the greater omentum is a promising strategy in facial skeleton reconstruction. This feasibility-study aims to perform robot-assisted scaffold implantation and second-stage flap raising.
Epidural anesthesia requires injection of anesthetic into the epidural space in the spine. Accurate placement of the epidural needle is a major challenge. To address this, we developed a forward-view endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) syst...
