Robotic Ultrasound for Catheter Navigation in Endovascular Procedures

Fernanda Langsch, Salvatore Virga, Javier Esteban, Rüdiger Göbl, Nassir Navab

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…

Automatic force-compliant robotic ultrasound screening of abdominal aortic aneurysms

Salvatore Virga, Oliver Zettinig, Marco Esposito, Karin Pfister, Benjamin Frisch, Thomas Neff +2

IROS 2016poster

Ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly employed for the diagnosis and staging of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), mainly due to its non-invasiveness and high availability. High inter-operator variability and a lack of repeatability of current US image acquisition impair the implementation of extensive…
