Robot-assisted medical imaging entails the use of a robot to acquire a medical image.
Examples include robot-assisted endoscopic camera imaging, ultrasound imaging where …

Catheter tracking has become an integral part of interventional radiology. Over the last
decades, researchers have significantly contributed to theoretical and technical catheter …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

Background The landscape of guided bronchoscopy for the sampling of pulmonary
parenchymal lesions is evolving rapidly. Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy …

Transbronchial biopsy sampling, as a minimally invasive method with relatively low risk, has

Lung cancer remains one of the most life-threatening diseases and is currently managed
through invasive approaches such as surgery, chemo-or radiotherapy. In this work, we …

Abstract Background and Objective Currently, computed tomography‐guided transthoracic
biopsy (CTTB) is the most accurate diagnostic approach for pulmonary nodules suspected of …

Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) has been shown to improve access to smaller and more
peripheral lung lesions, while simultaneously staging the mediastinum. Pre-clinical studies …

Background Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) aims to increase the diagnostic yield of guided
bronchoscopy by providing improved navigation, farther reach, and stability during lesion …

Recent advances in navigational platforms have led bronchoscopists to make major strides
in diagnostic interventions for pulmonary parenchymal lesions. Over the last decade …
