Visual-Haptic Model Mediated Teleoperation for Remote Ultrasound
David Black, Maria Tirindelli, Septimiu Salcudean +2
Tele-ultrasound has the potential greatly to improve health equity for countless remote communities. However, practical scenarios involve potentially large time delays which cause…
PRO-TIP: Phantom for RObust automatic ultrasound calibration by TIP detection
Matteo Ronchetti, Julia Rackerseder, Maria Tirindelli +4
We propose a novel method to automatically calibrate tracked ultrasound probes. To this end we design a custom phantom consisting of nine cones with different heights. The tips are…
Rethinking Ultrasound Augmentation: A Physics-Inspired Approach
Maria Tirindelli, Christine Eilers, Walter Simson +3
Medical Ultrasound (US), despite its wide use, is characterized by artifacts and operator dependency. Those attributes hinder the gathering and utilization of US datasets for the t…
Ultrasound-Guided Robotic Navigation with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Hannes Hase, Mohammad Farid Azampour, Maria Tirindelli +4
In this paper we introduce the first reinforcement learning (RL) based robotic navigation method which utilizes ultrasound (US) images as an input. Our approach combines state-of-t…
Force-Ultrasound Fusion: Bringing Spine Robotic-US to the Next "Level"
Maria Tirindelli, Maria Victorova, Javier Esteban +4
Spine injections are commonly performed in several clinical procedures. The localization of the target vertebral level (i.e. the position of a vertebra in a spine) is typically don…
