DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project here aims to facilitate the use of laparoscopically mounted ultrasound transducers during minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures. During a standard laparoscopic procedure, the surgeon operates
through small incisions in the abdomen… More
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project proposes to enhance the capabilities of InnerOptic's InVision System (IVS) for needle guidance during hepatic tumor ablation procedures via an innovative and inexpensive method to warp pre-operative CT data
in real time. Ablation has been… More
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project aims to facilitate the use of flexible laparoscopic ultrasound transducers during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in order to reduce injury rates. During a standard laparoscopic procedure, the surg
eon operates through small incisions in the… More
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an operating-room-ready system for needle guidance in soft tissue, which fuses intra- operative ultrasound and pre-operative X-ray computed tomography (CT) data by combining two novel technologies:1) a radically different way of visualizing… More
