A Multi-Optical and Mechanical Compensation Robotic Surgery System Based on Augmented Reality for Endoscopic Neurosurgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Endoscopic treatment is a widely employed clinical modality for the rapid reduction of cranial pressure in cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We are working to make endoscopic surgery simpler and more effective by ...
Pre-Operative Motion Planner for Steerable Needles Using Cost Map Based on Repulsive Field and Empirical Model of Needle Deflection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Needle insertion is a common procedure in percutaneous puncture. A motion planner for a steerable needle that considers the risk level of the path in anatomical environment and the actual deflection of clinical needle is ...
Residual Stress Reduction in Single Pass Welds Using Parallel Line Reheating
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current postweld heat treatment (PWHT) methods rely mainly on static thermal sources or line heating using dispersed beams which require significant capital investment and often pose limits on weldment size. In the current ...
A Real-Time Tracking and Visualization System for Robot-Assisted Template Location Method Applied to Lung Cancer Brachytherapy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate location of the puncture-guiding template, including the position and orientation, is essential for surgeons to implant radioactive seeds into an internal tumor in lung cancer brachytherapy. The objective of this ...
Predicting Distortion in Butt Welded Plates Using an Equivalent Plane Stress Representation Based on Inherent Shrinkage Volume
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the adverse effect that distortion has on assembly fit-up and fabrication costs in welded structures, the ability to predict dimensional changes represents an important engineering concern. While distortion can be ...
