Tissue mimicking materials (TMMs), typically contained within phantoms, have been used
for many decades in both imaging and therapeutic applications. This review investigates the …

Medical errors are a major concern in clinical practice, suggesting the need for advanced
surgical aids for preoperative planning and rehearsal. Conventionally, CT and MRI scans …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential modality for clinical diagnosis, and MRI-
guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is a powerful technology for targeted …

Background This study describes a series of experimental work completed towards
characterizing candidate materials for fabricating brain and muscle tissue mimicking …

High quality tissue-mimicking phantoms (TMPs) have a critical role in the preclinical testing
of emerging modalities for diagnosis and therapy. TMPs capable of accurately mimicking …

Motion and muscle artifacts can undermine signal quality in electroencephalography (EEG)
recordings during locomotion. We evaluated approaches for recovering ground-truth …

Medical robotics is an interdisciplinary field that came into existence to improve medical
procedures utilizing robotics technology. Medical robotics range from minimally invasive …

Purpose: Tissue-mimicking phantoms (TMPs) are synthetic materials designed to replicate
properties of biological tissues. There is a need to quantify temperature changes following …

Non-contact ultrasound excitation based on the photoacoustic effect using short optical
pulses has been widely used for biomedical and industrial inspections. However, generating …

Steerable instruments allow for precise access to deeply-seated targets while sparing
sensitive tissues and avoiding anatomical structures. In this study we present a novel …
