In this work, we present a soft capsule for mucus collection in human intestine for diagnostic purpose, with reduced risk of tissue damage compared with other biopsy methods. The capsule implements passive locomotion and the sampling…
There has been a consistent growth in research involving imaging of microvasculature over the past few decades. By 2008, publications mentioning the microcirculation had grown more than 2000 per annum. Many techniques have been demonstrated…
In recent years, the diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases has advanced greatly with the advent of high-tech video capsule endoscopy (VCE) technology, which allows for non-invasive observation of the digestive system. The MisaHub…
Objective: Probe-based confocal endomicroscopy is an emerging high-magnification optical imaging technique that provides in vivo and in situ cellular-level imaging for real-time assessment of tissue pathology. Endomicroscopy could…
Future short or long-term space missions require a new generation of monitoring and diagnostic systems due to communication impasses as well as limitations in specialized crew and equipment. Machine learning supported diagnostic systems…
Endoscopic endonasal surgery is a minimal invasive surgery that has been used to dissect pituitary gland tumour via curettes with the help of endoscope. However, this type of surgery has a high risk of failure because curettes may cause…
Minimally invasive image guided treatment procedures often employ advanced image processing algorithms. The recent developments of artificial intelligence algorithms harbor potential to further enhance this domain. In this article we…
Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) is currently one of the most effective methods for detecting intestinal diseases. However, it is challenging to detect early-stage small nodules with this method because they lack obvious color or shape…
Miniature magnetic tools have the potential to enable minimally invasive surgical techniques to be applied to space-restricted surgical procedures in areas such as neurosurgery. However, typical magnetic navigation systems, which create the…
Medical robotics includes assistive devices used by the physician in order to make his/her diagnostic or therapeutic practices easier and more efficient. This chapter focuses on such systems. It introduces the general field of…
This paper attempts to provide the reader a place to begin studying the application of computer vision and machine learning to gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. They have been classified into 18 categories. It should be be noted by the…
The progress in Computer Aided Diagnosis (CADx) of Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is thwarted by the lack of data. The inadequacy in richly representative healthy and abnormal conditions results in isolated analyses of pathologies, that…
