Next Generation Intra-op Navigation

During minimally invasive surgeries, surgeons are limited in their field of view, which restricts their observation of the patient’s full anatomy. This may lead to suboptimal surgical outcomes or even errors. For example, in a tumor excision procedure, healthy tissue may be injured, or worse, the surgeon may fail to optimally remove the lesion. Surgeons base the procedure on pre-op images of the area such as CT scans, which provide a snapshot of the internal tissue. Navigation systems are then utilized to fit the scan to the coordinate system of

AI in Diagnostic ERCP

Image Analysis and AI in Diagnostic ERCP

Recent developments in the field of medical image analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) are used to improve the procedural outcomes of ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography). Here is how RSIP Vision develops AI for diagnostic ERCP. Read what we do for enabling 3D Image Reconstruction and Image Registration/Fusion. Learn how strictures detection and classification can provide the physicians with classification scoring and, sometimes, help them avoid unnecessary biopsies during ERCP.

Type 4 cholangiocarcinoma

Enhanced ERCP tumor assessment using AI

ERCP involves both endoscopy and fluoroscopy on a region with limited access. Accordingly, it poses several challenges for the gastroenterologist performing the procedure: imaging and artificial intelligence are key technologies to solve these challenges. They are used to reconstruct multiangle 2D X-ray images into a 3D image that will help the gastroenterologists in real-time navigation, reducing any complications involved in the navigation process. AI can be trained to accurately classify each tumor found by ERCP and check whether it is cancerous or not.

ERCP Gallstones and strictures

AI in ERCP gallstones and strictures treatment

When performing ERCP for stone removal and stricture treatment, the gastroenterologist must overcome several challenges, namely navigation in the region of interest and the choice of the most fitting treatment that must be selected and implemented. AI enables to reconstructing a 3D image from multi-angle X-ray images or ultrasound slices. It is also trained to accurately classify the type of blockage that necessitated the ERCP procedure in the first place, resulting in quicker and more efficient ERCP procedures.
