Commercial ultrasound vascular phantoms lack the anatomic diversity required for robust pre-clinical interventional device testing. We fabricated individualized phantoms to test an artificial intelligence enabled ultrasound-guided surgical robotic sy...
INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of clarity regarding the ideal local anaesthetic volume for modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane (mTLIP) block. This study was designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of two different volumes of bupivacaine 0...
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging allows direct visualization of the coronary vessel wall and is suitable for assessing atherosclerosis and the degree of stenosis. Accurate segmentation and lumen and median-adventitia (MA) measurements from IVU...
BACKGROUND: The location (proximal vs. distal) of elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) tears impacts clinical outcomes of nonoperative treatment. The purposes of our study were to (1) determine whether selective releases of the MUCL could be...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a favored surgical approach for treating prostate cancer. However, RALP does not decrease postoperative pain significantly despite its minimal invasiveness. The pain associated with robo...
BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study is to describe our technique of hydrodissection (HD) of the retroprostatic space (RPS) performed between the Denonvillier's fascia (DF) and prostatic capsule (PC) and to evaluate its impact on the outcomes of nerv...
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) involves the acquisition and interpretation of ultrasound images to delineate sonoanatomy. This study explores the utility of a novel artificial intelligence (AI) device designed to assist in...
