— Robotics technology promises an enhanced way of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the robotic-assisted CABG surgery, surgeon performs the oper...
— Beating heart procedures promise significant health benefits to patients but the fast motion of the heart poses a serious challenge to the surgeon. Robotic motion synchroniza...
Abstract— A novel heart surface motion estimation framework for a robotic surgery on a stabilized beating heart is proposed. It includes an approach for the reconstruction and pr...
