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 …

This article reviews recent advances in intelligent robotic ultrasound imaging systems. We
begin by presenting the commonly employed robotic mechanisms and control techniques in …

Minimally invasive surgeries often require complicated maneuvers and delicate hand–eye
coordination and ideally would incorporate “x-ray vision” to see beyond tool tips and …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has achieved remarkable growth in the past few decades since
it takes advantage of both optical and ultrasound (US) imaging. In order to better promote …

In the past decade, photoacoustic (PA) imaging has attracted a great deal of popularity as an
emergent diagnostic technology owing to its successful demonstration in both preclinical …

Significance Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) enables the visualization of optical contrast with
ultrasonic imaging. It is a field of intense research, with great promise for clinical application …

Photoacoustic imaging–the combination of optics and acoustics to visualize differences in
optical absorption–has recently demonstrated strong viability as a promising method to …

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a hybrid technique for high-resolution imaging of optical
absorption in tissue. Among various transducer arrays proposed for PAT, the ring-shaped …

Objective: Spinal fusion surgeries require accurate placement of pedicle screws in anatomic
corridors without breaching bone boundaries. We are developing a combined ultrasound …

Interventional ultrasound (US) has challenges in accurate localization of the puncture
needle due to intrinsic acoustic interferences, which lead to blurred, indistinct, and even …
