A Novel Sample-efficient Deep Reinforcement Learning with Episodic Policy Transfer for PID-Based Control in Cardiac Catheterization Robots [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Robotic catheterization is typically used for percutaneous coronary intervention procedures nowadays and it involves steering flexible endovascular tools to open up occlusion in the coronaries. In this study, a sample-efficient deep reinforcement learning with episodic policy transfer is, for the first time, used for motion control during robotic ...

Nurses' attitudinal and normative beliefs concerning hemodynamic assessement by pulmonary artery catheterization Creencias normativas y de actitud de los enfermeros sobre el estudio hemodinámico por medio del catéter de arteria pulmonar Crenças atitudinais e normativas dos enfermeiros sobre o estudo hemodinâmico por meio do cateter de artéria pulmonar

open access: yesRevista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem, 2006
The objective of this study was to identify, by using the Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned Behavior, the attitude and normative beliefs that influence the behavioral intention of the nurse to perform a hemodynamic assessment using the ...

CathSim: An Open-source Simulator for Endovascular Intervention [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Autonomous robots in endovascular operations have the potential to navigate circulatory systems safely and reliably while decreasing the susceptibility to human errors. However, there are numerous challenges involved with the process of training such robots, such as long training duration and safety issues arising from the interaction between the ...

Causal Interaction Trees: Tree-Based Subgroup Identification for Observational Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We propose Causal Interaction Trees for identifying subgroups of participants that have enhanced treatment effects using observational data. We extend the Classification and Regression Tree algorithm by using splitting criteria that focus on maximizing between-group treatment effect heterogeneity based on subgroup-specific treatment effect estimators ...

Exploration of Surgeons' Natural Skills for Robotic Catheterization [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Despite having the robotic catheter systems which have recently emerged as safe way of performing cardiovascular interventions, a number of important challenges are yet to be investigated. One of them is exploration of surgeons' natural skills during vascular catheterization with robotic systems.
