Stable Anatomical Structure Tracking for Video-Bronchoscopy Navigation
Bronchoscopy allows to examine the patient airways for detection of lesions and sampling of tissues without surgery. A main drawback in lung cancer diagnosis is the difficulty to check whether the exploration is following the correct path to the nodule that has to be biopsied. The most extended guidance uses fluoroscopy which implies repeated radiation of clinical staff and patients. Alternativ...
متن کاملAn inexpensive, easily constructed, reusable task trainer for simulating ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis.
BACKGROUND Pericardiocentesis is a low-frequency, high-risk procedure integral to the practice of emergency medicine. Ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis is the preferred technique for providing this critical intervention. Traditionally, emergency physicians learned pericardiocentesis in real time, at the bedside, on critically ill patients. Medical education is moving toward simulation for tr...
متن کاملMeasuring airway dimensions during bronchoscopy using anatomical optical coherence tomography.
Airway dimensions are difficult to quantify bronchoscopically because of optical distortion and a limited ability to gauge depth. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT), a novel imaging technique, may overcome these limitations. This study evaluated the accuracy of aOCT against existing techniques in phantom, excised pig and in vivo human airways. Three comparative studies were performe...
متن کاملDesign of a Swept-Source, Anatomical OCT System for Pediatric Bronchoscopy.
We describe the design and performance of a long coherence length, swept-source anatomical OCT (aOCT) system for pediatric airway imaging. A fiber-optic catheter is designed to be accommodated by a small-bore bronchoscope, and is scanned distally in a helical scan pattern to provide aOCT during bronchoscopy. We discuss particular challenges associated with the need for large imaging range, low ...
متن کاملAugmented Display of Anatomical Names of Bronchial Branches for Bronchoscopy Assistance
This paper presents a method for an automated anatomical labeling of bronchial branches (ALBB) for augmented display of its result for bronchoscopy assistance. A method for automated ALBB plays an important role for realizing an augmented display of anatomical names of bronchial branches. The ALBB problem can be considered as a problem that each bronchial branch is classified into the bronchial...
