Fluoroscopic Shape and Pose Tracking of Catheters with Custom Radiopaque Markers
Safe navigation of steerable and robotic catheters in the cerebral vasculature requires awareness of the catheters shape and pose. Currently, a significant perception burden is placed on interventionalists to mentally reconstruct and predict catheter motions from biplane fluoroscopy images. Efforts to track these catheters are limited to planar segmentation or bulky sensing instrumentation, which are incompatible with microcatheters used in neurointervention. In this work, a catheter is equippe…

Crossness Pumping Station: seduced by symmetry — Anthony Baines Photography
Last week, I was lucky enough to visit the Crossness Pumping Station in South-East London . It is variously known as the "Cathedral in the Marshes" or, more bluntly, the "Cathedral of Sewage". It is a former Victorian sewage pumping station, opened in 1865; it continued to ope

AURA-CVC: Autonomous Ultrasound-guided Robotic Assistance for Central Venous Catheterization
Purpose: Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a critical medical procedure for vascular access, hemodynamic monitoring, and life-saving interventions. Its success remains challenging due to the need for continuous ultrasound-guided visualization of a target vessel and approaching needle, which is further complicated by anatomical variability and operator dependency. Errors in needle placement can lead to life-threatening complications. While robotic systems offer a potential solution, achiev…
