Precise pedicle screw placement is crucial in spine surgery, where minor inaccuracies can result in significant complications. Despite introducing robot-assisted navigation systems to aid surgeons, accommodating the spine’s nonrigid movements (due to patient movement or interactions with the surgeon…
This paper deals with an OCT (optical coherence tomography) geometric calibration method. OCT medical imaging system has received a growing interest during the last two decades. In medical purposes, OCT images are generally called optical biopsies which allows in-vivo investigation almost similar to…
This paper presents preliminary results on OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) based control of a concentric tube robot (CTR). The potential use of OCT system is presented then its ability to perform an optical biopsy and an eye-to-hand configuration for robot control is highlighted. A prototype of C…
