Ultrasound (US)-guided needle insertion is widely employed in percutaneous interventions. However, providing feedback on the needle tip position via US imaging presents challenges due to noise, artifacts, and the thin imaging plane of US, which degrades needle features and leads to intermittent tip
Flexible endoscope motion tracking and analysis in mechanical simulators have proven useful for endoscopy training. Common motion tracking methods based on electromagnetic tracker are however limited by their high cost and material susceptibility. In this work, the motion-guided dual-camera vision t
Ultrasound (US) is widely used in image-guided needle procedures. Correctly tracking the needle tip position in US images during the procedure plays an important role in improving the needle targeting accuracy and patient safety. This paper presents a leaning-based visual tracking network with a Sia…
