Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Reduces Hospitalization, Improves Survival in Heart Failure Patients
Breakthrough findings from a new study suggest that the utilization of transcatheter mitral valve repair in heart failure patients with mitral regurgitation can lower the long-term hospitalization rate by almost 50% and reduce the risk of death by nearly 30% compared to heart failure patients who do not undertake the minimally invasive procedure.

AR System Enables Free-Hand, Real-Time Needle Guidance for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Transperineal (TP) biopsy is one of the conventional methods used for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. TP biopsy typically involves a pre-operation MRI scan and a transrectal ultrasound, with the images combined and displayed on a monitor for the urologist to visualize. However, 2D visualization of a 3D region can make the needle's guidance and visualization a challenging task. To address this issue, researchers have proposed an approach based on an augmented reality (AR) system called HoloLens. More...06 Mar 2023
Artificial Intelligence Improves Colonoscopy Accuracy
Recent studies suggest that over half of post-colonoscopy cases of colon cancer appear due to missed lesions in previous examinations. To address this problem, scientists are now exploring the use of AI to locate these hard-to-see polyps. More...01 Mar 2023
Tiny Flexible 3D Bioprinter Could Be Used as All-in-One Endoscopic Surgical Tool 
Engineers have developed a miniature and flexible robotic arm that could be utilized to 3D print biomaterial directly onto organs within the human body. This soft robot can be inserted into the body in the same way as an endoscope and has the capacity to directly deliver multilayered biomaterials right onto the surface of internal organs and tissues.
