Flexible needle insertion into viscoelastic tissue is modeled in this paper with a linear beam supported by virtual springs. Using this simplified model, the forward and inverse ki...
— Physicians perform percutaneous therapies in many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Image guidance promises to improve targeting accuracy and broaden the scope of needle i...
A new vision chip, SCAMP-2, has been developed in a 0.35µm CMOS technology. In this paper, the design of the chip is presented, with particular emphasis on its readout architectu...
Multiple description video coding mitigates the effects of packet losses introduced by congestion and/or bit errors. In this paper, we propose a novel multiple description video c...
Clinicians are trained to manipulate a colonoscope while minimizing the force exerted on the colon walls to reduce the danger of luminal perforation and discomfort to the patient. ...
