Article Synopsis
- Left atrial appendage occlusion is a medical procedure designed to prevent blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation by blocking a specific area in the heart using a delivery device.
- This paper introduces a new planning method based on Bayesian Optimization to enhance the procedure by finding the best entry points for implanting the occlusion device.
- The effectiveness of this new planning approach is tested using simulations that mimic real cardiac anatomy.
Contact force Jacobian relates the changes in the contact force to the changes in the actuation of a robotic catheter in contact with a surface. In this paper, we present an analytical method for calculating the contact force Jacobian for the Cosserat rod model of an MRI-actuated robotic catheter. First, the Cosserat rod model of the MRI-actuated robotic catheter under tip contact position constraint is introduced.

Catheters are commonly used in many procedures and tracking and localizing them is critical to patient safety and surgical success. The standard of care for catheter tracking is with the use of fluoroscopy. Alternatives using conventional tracking technologies such as electromagnetic trackers have been previously explored.

It offers an important chance to prevent further complications of diabetic foot. We aimed to develop a prototype Robotic Monofilament Inspector that can be used as a standard machine for screening of diabetic neuropathy.
