Robotic Ultrasound for Catheter Navigation in Endovascular Procedures

IROS 2019poster

Endovascular procedures require real time visual feedback on the location of inserted catheters. This is currently achieved using X-ray fluoroscopy, which causes exposure to radiation. This study describes an alternative method using a robotic ultrasound system for catheter tracking and navigation i…

An Observer-Based Fusion Method Using Multicore Optical Shape Sensors and Ultrasound Images for Magnetically-Actuated Catheters

ICRA 2018poster

Minimally invasive surgery involves using flexible medical instruments such as endoscopes and catheters. Magnetically actuated catheters can provide improved steering precision over conventional catheters. However, besides the actuation method, an accurate tip position is required for precise contro…
