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

Proceedings of the First International Conference Surgetica'2002:
Computer-Aided Medical Interventions: tools and applications Sauramps Medical
Editors (Ed.) (2002) 303-309, 2006 This paper introduces the principles of computer assisted percutaneous renal puncture, that would provide the surgeon with an accurate pre-operative 3D planning on CT images and, after a rigid registration with space-localized echographic data, would help him to perform the puncture through an intuitive 2D/3D interface.

An open-source tool for automated planning of overlapping ablation zones for percutaneous renal tumor treatment [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Percutaneous thermal ablation is a minimally-invasive treatment option for renal cancer. To treat larger tumours, multiple overlapping ablations zones are required. Arrangements with a low number of ablation zones but coverage of the whole tumour volume are challenging to find for physicians.
