Colonoscope tracking method based on shape estimation network [PDF]
Proceedings of SPIE Medical Imaging 2019: Image-Guided Procedures,
Robotic Interventions, and Modeling, Vol.10951, 109510Q, 2020 This paper presents a colonoscope tracking method utilizing a colon shape estimation method. CT colonography is used as a less-invasive colon diagnosis method. If colonic polyps or early-stage cancers are found, they are removed in a colonoscopic examination.

KST-Mixer: Kinematic Spatio-Temporal Data Mixer For Colon Shape Estimation [PDF]
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering:
Imaging & Visualization, 2023, 2023 We propose a spatio-temporal mixing kinematic data estimation method to estimate the shape of the colon with deformations caused by colonoscope insertion. Endoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physicians to target positions is needed to reduce such complications as organ perforations.
