Recent advances in understanding the importance of respiratory frequency (f R) as a
sensitive marker of a variety of physiopathological stressors are fostering growing interest in …

Respiratory illness diagnosis and continuous monitoring are becoming popular as sensitive
markers of chronic diseases. This interest has motivated the increased development of …

Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical
procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the …

Purpose This work presents the implementation of an RGB-D camera as a surrogate signal
for liver respiratory-induced motion estimation. This study aims to validate the feasibility of …

Purpose Percutaneous interventions rely on needle puncture to deliver medical devices into
lesions. For lung tumours, respiratory motion makes effective puncture procedures difficult to …

Purpose Respiratory motion of the human body remains a major challenge in procedures for
percutaneous puncture intervention. A solution is to develop a respiratory motion model. The …

Medical robotics is a highly challenging and rewarding field of research, especially in the
development of minimally invasive solutions for the treatment of the worldwide leading …

Purpose. Respiration-induced motion introduces significant positioning uncertainties in
radiotherapy treatments for thoracic sites. Accounting for this motion is a non-trivial task …

Objective. This study proposes a real-time tumor position prediction-based multi-
dimensional respiratory motion compensation puncture method to accurately track real-time …

Abstract The Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) technique in modern particle therapy offers a
highly conformal dose distribution but poses challenges due to the interplay effect, an …
