Visual tracking of multiple moving targets in 2D ultrasound guided robotic percutaneous interventions
(IEEE, 2017)
Percutaneous needle procedures are mostly carried out with the guidance of 2D ultrasound (US) imaging. US images are inherently noisy and their resolutions are low. Hence, target tracking can be challenging. Image based ...
Visual tracking of biopsy needles in 2D ultrasound images
(2016)
Ultrasound (US) is one the most commonly used medical imaging techniques in percutaneous needle procedures. However, US images are inherently noisy and contain excessive number of artifacts. Hence, it is not easy to track ...
Real-time needle tip localization in 2D ultrasound images for robotic biopsies
(IEEE, 2015)
In this paper, real-time needle tip tracking method using 2D ultrasound (US) images for robotic biopsies is presented. In this method, the needle tip is estimated with the Gabor filter based image processing algorithm, and ...
Development and 3D spatial calibration of a parallel robot for percutaneous needle procedures with 2D ultrasound guidance
(World Scientific, 2017-12-01)
Robotic systems are being applied to medical interventions as they increase the operational accuracy. The proposed autonomous and ultrasound guided 5-DOF parallel robot can achieve such accuracy for needle biopsies, which ...
