In utero alcohol exposure dramatically increases the risk of premature delivery. However, the majority of premature and term newborns exposed to alcohol remain undetected by medical caregivers. There is a desperate need for reliable and accurate biomarkers of alcohol exposure for the term and premature newborn population. The inability to identify the exposed newborn severely limits our understanding...
An integrated system for minimally invasive robot-assisted image-guided lung brachytherapy has been developed. The system incorporates an experimental setup for accurate radioactive seed placement with commercially available dosimetry planning software. The end result is a complete system that allows planning and executing a brachytherapy procedure with increased accuracy. The results of the in vitro...
An experimental test-bed for robot-assisted image-guided minimally invasive lung brachytherapy has been developed. The setup includes surgical robots, a device to accurately drop brachytherapy seeds, an ultrasound system, electromagnetic trackers, and navigational software. An evaluation using the test-bed was performed to compare the open procedure and the video-assisted thoracoscopic procedure with...
