A Dual Mode Photoacoustic Visual Servoing System to Track Needle and Catheter Tips during Surgical Procedures Using Beamformed Images or Raw Channel Data

Unmet Need:Needle guided procedures like catheterizations and biopsies are important medical tools to diagnose and treat disease. In the US alone, over 2.7 million catheterization procedures and over 3 million breast cancer biopsies are performed every year (see iData and CST). Real time imaging of biopsy needles is a technique used by physicians to...

Method and System for Registering Multiple Structures in Medical Images

Unmet NeedRobot-assisted procedures are becoming more common, from accounting for 1.8% of all general surgeries in 2012 to 15.1% in 2018. One of the most attractive features of surgical robotics is the ability to integrate preoperative and intra-operative images to provide more information for surgical planning and navigation. Specifically, for surgical...

Confidence-based Techniques in Robotic Suturing

Unmet Need:Current techniques in medical robotics rely solely on surgeon-controlled robots, resulting in an error rate of as high as 22% primarily from user error. Automation has become the standard across many industries; however, due to the uncertainty and irregularities of surgical procedures, automation has not become a suitable option. Introducing...

Universal Surgical Tool Exchange and Identification System

Unmet NeedThe role robotics play in surgery is growing because of the benefits it offers to patient outcome, surgeon comfort and duration of surgery. During conventional (non-robotic) surgery, surgeons are accustomed to having a reliable grip on the hand tool and being able to rapidly swap the tools with another one when needed by the help of an OR...

Drone Fuselage for Medical Transport

Unmet NeedThere are more than a billion medical cargo transport trips annually. About 740 million of these cargo trips consist of diagnostic specimens, which need to be transported quickly and in a stable environment to maintain usability. It is not always possible to have an aircraft send a specimen, so many pickups are done with ground vehicles. But...

Distal Force Sensing in 3D for Actuated Instruments: Design, Calibration and Force Computation

Unmet NeedRetinal microsurgery requires the careful manipulation of delicate tissues by exerting minute amounts of force which lie below the tactile sensory threshold of surgeons. Thus, motorized instruments with force sensing are needed to perform tasks such as membrane peeling - a process where the fibrous tissue is delaminated off the retina by applying...
