Ultrasound Robotic System to Multi-Approach Puncture for Endoscopic Spinal Surgery

RA-L 2024

Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely utilized for guiding puncture procedures in spinal interventions. However, conventional methods that confine puncture within the US plane may not adequately meet the demands of endoscopic spinal surgery (ESS), which requires extensive spatial orientation adjus
