Future health systems require the means to assess and track the neural and physiological function of a user over long periods of time and in the community. Human body responses are manifested through multiple modalities, such as the…
Robotic ultrasound (US) imaging has been seen as a promising solution to overcome the limitations of free-hand US examinations, i.e., inter-operator variability. However, the fact that robotic US systems cannot react to subject movements…
Despite steady progress, text entry in Extended Reality (XR) often remains slower and more effortful than typing on a physical keyboard or touchscreen. We explore a simple idea: use gaze to swipe through a virtual keyboard for the fast,…
The safety and accuracy of robotic navigation hold paramount importance, especially in the realm of soft continuum robotics, where the limitations of traditional rigid sensors become evident. Encoders, piezoresistive, and potentiometer…
Under conventional "open-" surgery, the physician has to take care of the patient, interact with other clinicians and check several monitoring devices. Nowadays, the Computer Assisted Surgery proposes to integrate 3D cameras in the…
Accurately inferring underlying electrophysiological (EP) tissue properties from action potential recordings is expected to be clinically useful in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, but it is…
Embolization, stroke, ischaemic lesion, and perforation remain significant concerns in endovascular interventions. Intravascular sensing of tool interaction with the arteries is advantageous to minimize such complications and enhance…
Ultrasound (US) is one of the most common medical imaging modalities since it is radiation-free, low-cost, and real-time. In freehand US examinations, sonographers often navigate a US probe to visualize standard examination planes with rich…
Despite renewed awareness of the importance of articulation, it remains a challenge for instructors to handle the pronunciation needs of language learners. There are relatively scarce pedagogical tools for pronunciation teaching and…
Flexible needle insertion procedures are common for minimally-invasive surgeries for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. Bevel-tip needles provide physicians the capability to steer the needle during long insertions to avoid vital…
Subretinal injection is a critical procedure for delivering therapeutic agents to treat retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, retinal motion caused by physiological factors such as respiration and…
Navigation inside luminal organs is an arduous task that requires non-intuitive coordination between the movement of the operator's hand and the information obtained from the endoscopic video. The development of tools to automate certain…
Objective. Exploring neural activity behind synchronization and time locking in brain circuits is one of the most important tasks in neuroscience. Our goal was to design and characterize a microelectrode array (MEA) system specifically for…
Performing minimal-invasive surgical punctures require guiding a needle toward an intracorporeal clinically-defined target. As this technique does not involve cutting the body open, a visualization system is employed to provide the surgeon…
Advanced minimally invasive neurosurgery navigation relies mainly on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance. MRI guidance, however, only provides pre-operative information in the majority of the cases. Once the surgery begins, the value…
Echocardiography is crucial for cardiovascular disease detection but relies heavily on experienced sonographers. Echocardiography probe guidance systems, which provide real-time movement instructions for acquiring standard plane images,…
NIR-II fluorescence imaging provides superior tissue penetration and clarity, yet its clinical use in surgical navigation is hindered by a critical workflow issue. Surgeons must divert their attention between the operative field and…
Purpose: Autonomous navigation of devices in endovascular interventions can decrease operation times, improve decision-making during surgery, and reduce operator radiation exposure while increasing access to treatment. This systematic…
Image registration is an ill-posed inverse problem which often requires regularisation on the solution space. In contrast to most of the current approaches which impose explicit regularisation terms such as smoothness, in this paper we…
In this paper, we review physics- and data-driven reconstruction techniques for simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) / magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, which have significant advantages for clinical imaging of cancer,…
