Selectively Actuated Fiberbots for High-precision Minimally Invasive Surgery
Jinshi Zhao, Libaihe Tian, Alex Ranne +9
Long, slender instruments are essential for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), but achieving precise distal manipulation becomes increasingly difficult when actuation extends along…
Modular Robotic Catheters for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Alex Ranne, Jinshi Zhao, Ali Anil Demircali +5
Fenestrated/Branched endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR/BEVAR) require surgeons to navigate catheters and guidewires into various branches of the abdominal aorta, before deploying…
A Mapping Sheath with Thermally Drawn Multi-Electrode Basket for Cardiac Electrophysiological Recording and Ablation Catheter Delivery
Qindong Zheng, Anil Demircali, Jinshi Zhao +14
Cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, represent a major cardiovascular health burden and underscore the need for efficient and integrated strategies for electrical…
Privacy-Preserving Local Language Models for Longitudinal Data Retrieval in Chronic Dermatologic Disease: Implementation in Pemphigus Patients
Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Ayşe Esra Koku Aksu, Duygu Yamen +5
Chronic dermatologic diseases such as pemphigus require long-term follow-up, generating extensive longitudinal clinical documentation that is difficult to review comprehensively du…
Artefact-Aware Fungal Detection in Dermatophytosis: A Real-Time Transformer-Based Approach for KOH Microscopy
Rana Gursoy, Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Baris Kizilyaprak +5
Dermatophytosis is commonly assessed using potassium hydroxide (KOH) microscopy, yet accurate recognition of fungal hyphae is hindered by artefacts, heterogeneous keratin clearance…
DermaBench: A Clinician-Annotated Benchmark Dataset for Dermatology Visual Question Answering and Reasoning
Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Ozan Erdem, Ece Gokyayla +5
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly important in medical applications; however, their evaluation in dermatology remains limited by datasets that focus primarily on image…
A Hierarchical Benchmark of Foundation Models for Dermatology
Furkan Yuceyalcin, Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Burak Temelkuran
Foundation models have transformed medical image analysis by providing robust feature representations that reduce the need for large-scale task-specific training. However, current…
Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation
Alex Ranne, Heiko Maier, Jinshi Zhao +6
To navigate medical instruments safely and accurately inside a patient's vascular tree, combining X-ray fluoroscopy with intermittent contrast injections is the gold standard. Howe…
DermaSynth: Rich Synthetic Image-Text Pairs Using Open Access Dermatology Datasets
Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Furkan Yuceyalcin, Ece Gokyayla +8
A major barrier to developing vision large language models (LLMs) in dermatology is the lack of large image--text pairs dataset. We introduce DermaSynth, a dataset comprising of 92…
Fabrication of Fibers with Complex Features Using Thermal Drawing of 3D-Printed Preforms
Ali Anil Demircali, Jinshi Zhao, Ayhan Aktas +2
High-aspect-ratio polymer materials are widely utilized in applications ranging from everyday materials such as clothing to specialized equipment in industrial and medical fields.…
DERM12345: A Large, Multisource Dermatoscopic Skin Lesion Dataset with 38 Subclasses
Abdurrahim Yilmaz, Sirin Pekcan Yasar, Gulsum Gencoglan +1
Skin lesion datasets provide essential information for understanding various skin conditions and developing effective diagnostic tools. They aid the artificial intelligence-based e…
A Paradigm Shift in Catheter Development: Thermally Drawn Polymeric Fibers for MR-Guided Cardiovascular Interventions
Mohamed E. M. K. Abdelaziz, Libaihe Tian, Thomas Lottner +9
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and congenital heart diseases (CHD) pose significant global health challenges. Fluoroscopy-guided endovascular interventions, though effective, are a…
Precise Hybrid-Actuation Robotic Fiber for Enhanced Cervical Disease Treatment
Jinshi Zhao, Qindong Zheng, Ali Anil Demircali +7
Treatment for high-grade precancerous cervical lesions and early-stage cancers, mainly affecting women of reproductive age, often involves fertility-sparing treatment methods. Comm…
