Continuum robots provide inherent structural compliance with high dexterity to access the
surgical target sites along tortuous anatomical paths under constrained environments and …

Cardiac diseases are recognized as the leading cause of mortality, hospitalization, and
medical prescription globally. The gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis …

Soft and continuum robots are transforming medical interventions thanks to their flexibility,
miniaturization, and multidirectional movement abilities. Although flexibility enables …

Purpose: Biplane angiography systems provide time resolved 2D fluoroscopic images from
two different angles, which can be used for the positioning of interventional devices such as …

Electrophysiology (EP) studies and catheter ablation have become important treatment
options for several types of cardiac arrhythmias. We present a novel image-based approach …

Background Vascular diseases are often treated minimally invasively. The interventional
material (stents, guidewires, etc.) used during such percutaneous interventions are …

Purpose Image guidance for minimally invasive interventions is usually performed by
acquiring fluoroscopic images using a monoplanar or a biplanar C‐arm system. However …

Background Minimally invasive procedures usually require navigating a microcatheter and
guidewire through endoluminal structures such as blood vessels and airways to sites of the …

Endovascular surgical tool reconstruction represents an important factor in advancing
endovascular tool navigation, which is an important step in endovascular surgery. However …

The recent success of convolutional neural networks in many computer vision tasks implies
that their application could also be beneficial for vision tasks in cardiac electrophysiology …
