A randomized comparison between interscalene and combined infraclavicular-suprascapular blocks for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie
BACKGROUND: This randomized trial aimed to evaluate combined infraclavicular-suprascapular blocks (ICB-SSBs) as a diaphragm-sparing alternative to interscalene blocks (ISBs) for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We hypothesized that ICB-SSB would provid...

Development of an ultrasound-guided technique for retrobulbar nerve block in dromedary camels: a cadaveric study.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: Description of an ultrasound (US)-guided technique for retrobulbar nerve blockade in dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) cadavers.

A sonographic investigation for the development of ultrasound-guided paravertebral brachial plexus block in dogs: cadaveric study.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel in-plane ultrasound (US)-guided approach to the sixth (C6), seventh (C7), eighth (C8) cervical and to the first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves.

First report of robot-assisted transperineal fusion versus off-target biopsy in patients undergoing repeat prostate biopsy.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To clarify the value of targeted versus off-target biopsies in men with a suspicion of prostate cancer (PC) and a visible lesion in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) using transperineal robot-assisted biopsy.

An ultrasound image navigation robotic prostate brachytherapy system based on US to MRI deformable image registration method.

Hellenic journal of nuclear medicine
OBJECTIVE: This paper describes an ultrasound image navigation robotic prostate brachytherapy system. It uses a 2D ultrasound (US) probe rigidly fixed to a robotic needle insertion mechanism. Combined with the US probe registration and image registra...

System Integration and In Vivo Testing of a Robot for Ultrasound Guidance and Monitoring During Radiotherapy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
We are developing a cooperatively controlled robot system for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in which a clinician and robot share control of a 3-D ultrasound (US) probe. IGRT involves two main steps: 1) planning/simulation and 2) treatment del...

Lumbar Ultrasound Image Feature Extraction and Classification with Support Vector Machine.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Needle entry site localization remains a challenge for procedures that involve lumbar puncture, for example, epidural anesthesia. To solve the problem, we have developed an image classification algorithm that can automatically identify the bone/inter...

Robot-assisted ultrasound imaging: overview and development of a parallel telerobotic system.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Ultrasound imaging is frequently used in medicine. The quality of ultrasound images is often dependent on the skill of the sonographer. Several researchers have proposed robotic systems to aid in ultrasound image acquisition. In this paper we first p...
