Concentric tube robot (CTR) is an efficient approach for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and diagnosis due to its small size and high dexterity. To manipulate the robot accurately and safely inside the human body, tip position and shape information ...
INTRODUCTION: Pupillometry, the measurement of eye pupil diameter, is a well-established and objective modality correlated with cognitive workload. In this paper, we analyse the pupillary response of ultrasound imaging operators to assess their cogni...
AIMS: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) methodology capable of automated and accurate segmentation of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image sequences in real-time.
