Ultrasound (US) imaging system is widely used in robotic systems for precision positioning in clinical applications. The US calibration is critical to minimize the difference of spatial coordinates between instruments, for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in navigation systems. In this study, we propose a dual robotic arm system that combines US imaging with one arm for path planning and monitoring and accurate positioning with the other arm for instrument placement via the preplanning procedures. A phantom with N-wire and N-wedge was designed for US calibration. The US calibration showed a mean error of 0.76 mm; the mean dual-arm calibration error is 0.31 mm. The positioning error of the system was verified with a mean error of 1.48 mm. In addition, we used two abdominal phantoms with computed tomography scan validation, with an averaged position error of 1.867 ± 0.436 mm and an orientation error of 2.190 ± 0.764°. The proposed system is aimed to perform clinical operations, such as abdominal MIS, with real-time image monitoring of the organ tissues and instrument positions, which meet the requirements for medical application.

Due to individual differences, accurate identification of tissue elastic parameters is essential for biomechanical modeling in surgical guidance for hepatic venous injections. This paper aims to acquire the absolute Young's modulus of heterogeneous soft tissues during endoscopic surgery with 2D ultrasound images. First, we introduced a force-sensor-less approach that utilizes a pre-calibrated soft patch with a known Young's modulus and its ultrasound images to calculate the external forces exerted by the probe on the tissue.

Deployment of large numbers of low capital cost sensors to increase the spatial density of air quality measurements enables applications that build on mapping air at neighborhood scales. Effective deployment requires not only low capital costs for observations but also a simultaneous reduction in labor costs. The Berkeley Environmental Air Quality and CO Network (BEACON) is a sensor network measuring O, CO, NO, and NO, particulate matter (PM), and CO at dozens of locations in cities where it is deployed.

Predictive model performance may deteriorate when applied to data sources that were not used for training, thus, external validation is a key step in successful model deployment. As access to patient-level external data sources is typically limited, we recently proposed a method that estimates external model performance using only external summary statistics. Here, we benchmark the proposed method on multiple tasks using five large heterogeneous US data sources, where each, in turn, plays the role of an internal source and the remaining-external.

Significance: Laparoscopic surgery presents challenges in localizing oncological margins due to poor contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. Optical properties can uniquely identify various tissue types and disease states with high sensitivity and specificity, making it a promising tool for surgical guidance. Although spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) effectively measures quantitative optical properties, its deployment in laparoscopy is challenging due to the constrained imaging environment.
