Control of pulsed light propagation through multimode optical fibers

Edgar Emilio Morales Delgado

Visualization of organs and cells in the interior of living beings is a challenging task due to the light absorption and multiple light scattering occurring in biological tissue that prevents the di-rect transmission of images. A standard visualization app ...

Two-photon fluorescence imaging through multicore fiber with digital phase conjugation

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Nicolino Stasio

We present near diffraction limited two photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging through a lensless, multi-core fiber (MCF) endoscope utilizing digital phase conjugation. The ultra-small size of MCFs make them desirable tools for imaging deep into the body. TPF i ...

Method and apparatus for a photoacoustic probe using a multimode fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser

This invention is a method and apparatus to pick up a photoacoustic signal purely via optical means and via an endoscope. The photoacoustic endoscope invention relies only on optical excitation and detection methods. A light focus spot generates a photoaco ...

Experimental Evaluation of a Haptic Interface for Endoscopic Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

The main goal of virtual reality based surgery simulators with haptic feedback is to provide an alternative to traditional training methods on animals, cadavers or real patients. Haptic feedback is a key feature for every surgery simulator for the training ...

Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging : Spectral Optimization and in vivo Characterization of Positive Sites by Magnifying Vascular Imaging

Blaise Lovisa

Since several decades, the physicians are able to access hollow organs with endoscopic methods, which serve both as diagnostic and surgical means in a wide range of disciplines of the modern medicine (e.g. urology, pneumology, gastroenterology). Unfortunat ...

Modeling and Design of a Gripper for a Robotic Surgical System Integrating Force Sensing Capabilities in 4 DOF

Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira, Ali Sengül, Laura Santos Carreras, Mathieu Joseph Charles Stephan

This paper reports the design of a Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) gripper with four degrees of freedom force sensing capabilities. It will be used to provide force feedback during surgical interventions in which the surgeon will remotely manipulate surgi ...

Endoscopic low coherence interferometry applied to tri-dimensional contouring of upper airways

This thesis presents a novel approach for optical tri-dimensional contouring, requiring only one acquisition to extract a contour depth. It is based on an interferometric setup, using a reduced coherence light source, and is fully adaptable to endoscopic p ...

Instrumentation of a Clinical Colonoscope for Surgical Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

This paper describes the instrumentation of a clinical colonoscope needed for a novel colonoscopy simulation framework. The simulator consists of a compact and portable haptic interface and a virtual reality environment to provide real-time visualization. ...

Endoscopic navigation for minimally invasive suturing

Charles Baur

Manipulating small objects such as needles, screws or plates inside the human body during minimally invasive surgery can be very difficult for less experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incap ...

Knot-tying with Visual and Force Feedback for VR Laparoscopic Training

Hannes Bleuler

Real-time simulation of thread and knot-tying with visual and force feedback is an essential part of virtual reality laparoscopic training. This paper presents a physics-based thread simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic rendering rate. The ...

Continuous Wavelet Transform Ridge Extraction for Spectral Interferometry Imaging

Michaël Unser, Theo Lasser, Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling

The combination of wavelength multiplexing and spectral interferometry allows for the encoding of multidimensional information and its transmission over a mono-dimensional channel; for example, measurements of a surface's topography acquired through a mono ...
