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

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.

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.

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.

AI for Gastric Cancer Detection

Upper gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, are among the most common cancers worldwide. However, a lack of endoscopists with colonoscopy skills has been identified and solutions are critically needed. The development of a real-time robust detection system for colorectal neoplasms is needed to significantly reduce the risk of missed lesions during colonoscopy.

Intra-op Prostate Guidance by RSIP Vision

Approximately one million prostate biopsies are performed each year in the United States to diagnose and monitor prostate cancer. Doctors commonly use transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to generate real-time images of the prostate to help guide the biopsy. To mitigate the risk of missing a lesion, physicians usually carry out multiple collections from the gland. Nonetheless, there is a risk that some tumors may go undetected. Therefore, it is common practice for the patient to have a pre-op MRI scan, which generates a more detailed image of the prostate. This provides

Soft Tissues Tracking during Brain Surgery

Soft Tissue Tracking during Brain Surgeries

Most of the tissue handled by the surgeon (or by a robotic hand) during brain surgeries is flexible: With the obvious exception of bone, which is rigid, all the structures touched during the surgery change shape and place. For instance, by changing the force applied to the brain, like when the skull is opened, the pressure on the brain changes and, as a consequence, its shape changes too. It is key for the surgeon to know where each point has moved to: if the tumor that needs to be treated

RSIP Neph Announces a Revolutionary Intra-op Solution for Partial Nephrectomy Surgeries

AI for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH

How can Artificial Intelligence benefit urology patients, in particular those affected by prostate BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)? AI-based solutions for urology applications are under development and promise important breakthroughs in both operation planning and treatment. The first type of the BPH treatment is typically non-invasive and based on medications. Some patients subsequently move to intrusive solutions, These are mostly minimally invasive and mainly endoscopic. AI can provide a great contribution to the planning of the surgery: advanced AI algorithms might foresee some complications in advance and provide valuable information to

How Can AI Assist in Single-port Robotic Surgery?

The use by the surgical community of single-port as a surgical approach is increasing in frequency. A port is the entrance gate of the tools into the patient’s body during a surgery. Currently, most laparoscopies require multiple ports for the camera and tools, whereas single-port approach utilizes one port for all the tools and the camera. The main benefits of this approach are that it offers similar results to multi-port approach while allowing for faster healing, less pain for the patient, and better cosmetic outcomes. Technically, single-port is challenging as
