A novel flexible auxiliary single-arm transluminal endoscopic robot facilitates endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric lesions (with video).

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Using conventional endoscope to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is difficult because of the one-handed operation and blind dissection caused by gravity. Poor visualization of the submucosal plane causes ESD to be associated...

Solving Inverse Electrocardiographic Mapping Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Frameworks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) reconstructs electrograms at the heart's surface using the potentials recorded at the body's surface. This is called the inverse problem of electrocardiography. This study aimed to improve on the current solution m...

Technical note: A PET/MR coil with an integrated, orbiting 511 keV transmission source for PET/MR imaging validated in an animal study.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: MR-based methods for attenuation correction (AC) in PET/MRI either neglect attenuation of bone, or use MR-signal derived information about bone, which leads to a bias in quantification of tracer uptake in PET. In a previous study, we pres...

Robotic assistance for percutaneous needle insertion in the kidney: preclinical proof on a swine animal model.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the accuracy, safety, and feasibility of a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system for percutaneous needle placement in the kidney.

Small intestinal viability assessment using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and deep learning.

Scientific reports
Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition where the surgeon often has to make important but difficult decisions regarding resections and resection margins. Previous studies have shown that 3 h (hours) of warm full ischemia of the small bowel followe...

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...

Robot-assisted magnetic capsule endoscopy; navigating colorectal inclinations.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
To investigate the interaction of a robot assisted magnetically driven wireless capsule endoscope (WCE) with colonic tissue, as it traverses the colorectal bends in the dorsal and ventral directions, relying only on the feedback from a 3D accelerome...

Unsupervised deep learning based approach to temperature monitoring in focused ultrasound treatment.

Ultrasonics
Temperature monitoring in ultrasound (US) imaging is important for various medical treatments, such as high-intensity focused US (HIFU) therapy or hyperthermia. In this work, we present a deep learning based approach to temperature monitoring based o...

The transferability of the minimal invasive surgeon's skills to open surgery.

Scandinavian journal of urology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity, which has contributed to a decrease in the number of open procedures. Hence a growing concern regarding the ability of laparoscopically trained surgeons to perform open surgery (e...

A CT Image-Based Virtual Sensing Method to Estimate Bone Drilling Force for Surgical Robots.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Current surgical robots face challenges to understand preoperative images like human surgeons, which hindering robots from making full use of preoperative information to operate stably and efficiently. We offer a method to estimate drillin...
