Image-guidance during partial nephrectomy enables navigation within the operative field
alongside a 3-dimensional roadmap of renal anatomy generated from patient-specific …

Surgical robotics application in the field of minimally invasive surgery has developed rapidly
and has been attracting increasingly more research attention in recent years. A common …

Background Current laparoscopic surgical robots are teleoperated, which requires high
fidelity differential motions but does not require absolute accuracy. Emerging applications …

Goal: We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide a
case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. Methods: This framework (called the “bystander …

Aim: Image-guided surgery (IGS) allows for accurate, real-time localization of subsurface
critical structures during surgery. No prior IGS systems have described a feasible method of …

For transendoscopic concentric tube robots to have high accuracy with respect to
endoscope-derived information, they must be calibrated with respect to the endoscope. We …

Over the past several years, researchers have made significant progress toward providing
image guidance for the da Vinci system, utilizing data sources such as robot kinematic data …

Image guidance is increasingly used by surgeons to locate specific anatomy more
accurately during surgery. Unfortunately, many of the sensing systems currently used for …

Using an image guidance system constructed over the past several years [1],[2] we have
recently collected our first in vivo human pilot study data on the use of the da Vinci for image …
