Real-time simulation of organs increases comfort and safety for patients during the surgery. Proper generalized decomposition (PGD) is an efficient numerical method with coordinate errors below 1 mm and response time below 0.1 s that can be used for ...
BACKGROUND: Localization and resection of nonvisible, nonpalpable pulmonary nodules during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is challenging. In this study we developed a surgical navigation puncture robot system in order to locate small pulmonary ...
For both pigs in commercial farms and biological experimental pigs at breeding bases, mounting behaviour is likely to cause damage such as epidermal wounds, lameness and fractures, and will no doubt reduce animal welfare. The purpose of this paper is...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a popular modality for tumor treatment. However, inexpensive real-time monitoring of RFA within multiple tissue types is still an ongoing research topic. The objective of this study is to utilize multi-frequency elect...
Segmentation of lungs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a challenging task due to diffuse opacification in dependent regions which results in little to no contrast at the lung boundary. For segmentation of severely injured lungs, loc...
