Researchers propose hybrid approach for tracking laparoscopic ultrasound transducers
Researchers propose hybrid approach for tracking laparoscopic ultrasound transducers Laparoscopic surgery, a less invasive alternative to conventional open surgery, involves inserting thin tubes with a tiny camera and surgical instruments into the abdomen. To visualize specific surgical targets, ultrasound imaging is used in conjunction with the surgery. However, ultrasound images are viewed on a separate screen, requiring the surgeon to mentally combine the camera and ultrasound data. Modern ...
