Automatic Registration of Anatomical Structures of Stereo-Endoscopic Point Clouds
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2023 In image-guided surgery, imaging systems such as (stereo-)endoscopes allow intra-operative 3D reconstructions in form of point clouds. However, endoscopes provide only a narrow field of view, resulting in a confined point cloud. In this paper, we present

Infectious diseases linked to cross-contamination of flexible endoscopes
Endoscopy International Open, 2015 Flexible endoscopes are widely used to examine, diagnose, and treat medical disorders. While the risk of endoscopy-related transmission of infection is estimated to be very low, more health care-associated infections are related to contaminated ...

Tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in in vitro biofilms to high level peracetic acid disinfection [PDF]
, 2017 Biofilm has been suggested as a cause of disinfection failures in flexible endoscopes where no lapses in the decontamination procedure can be identified. To test this theory, the activity of peracetic acid (PAA), one of the commonly used disinfectants in

Guiding, focusing, and sensing on the sub-wavelength scale using metallic wire arrays [PDF]
, 2007 We show that two-dimensional arrays of thin metallic wires can guide transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and focus them to the spatial dimensions much smaller that the vacuum wavelength.

Extended field-of-view in a lensless endoscope using an aperiodic multicore fiber
, 2016 We investigate lensless endoscopy using coherent beam combining and aperiodic multicore fibers (MCF). We show that diffracted orders, inherent to MCF with periodically arranged cores, dramatically reduce the field of view (FoV) and that randomness in MCF
