An Anatomy-specific Guidewire Shaping Robot for Improved Vascular Navigation
Aabha Tamhankar, Jay Patil, Giovanni Pittiglio
Neuroendovascular access often relies on passive microwires that are hand-shaped at the back table and then used to track a microcatheter to the target. Neuroendovascular surgeons…

Contact-aware Path Planning for Autonomous Neuroendovascular Navigation
Aabha Tamhankar, Ron Alterovitz, Ajit S. Puri +1
We propose a deterministic and time-efficient contact-aware path planner for neurovascular navigation. The algorithm leverages information from pre- and intra-operative images of t…

Towards Autonomous Navigation of Neuroendovascular Tools for Timely Stroke Treatment via Contact-aware Path Planning
Aabha Tamhankar, Giovanni Pittiglio
In this paper, we propose a model-based contact-aware motion planner for autonomous navigation of neuroendovascular tools in acute ischemic stroke. The planner is designed to find…
