The aim of the study was to investigate the biomechanical behavior of three-dimensionally (3D)-printed surgical plates used for mandibular defect reconstruction, compare them with conventional surgical plates, and provide experimental evidence for their clinical application. Three-dimensional models were created for the normal mandible and for mandibular body defects reconstructed using free fibula and deep circumflex iliac artery flaps. Three-dimensional finite element models of reconstructed mandibles fixed using 3D-printed and conventional surgical plates were established. Vertical occlusal forces were applied to the remaining teeth and the displacement and Von Mises stress distributions were studied using finite element analysis. The normal and reconstructed mandibles had similar biomechanical behaviors. The displacement distributions for the surgical plates were similar, and the maximum total deformation occurred at the screw hole of the anterior segment of the surgical plates. However, there were differences in the Von Mises stress distributions for the surgical plates. In reconstructed mandibles fixed using 3D-printed surgical plates, the maximum equivalent Von Mises stress occurred at the screw hole of the posterior segment, while in those fixed using conventional surgical plates, the maximum equivalent Von Mises stress was at the screw hole of the anterior segment. In the mandible models reconstructed with the same free flap but fixed with different surgical plates, the plates had similar biomechanical behaviors. The biomechanical behavior of 3D-printed surgical plates was similar to conventional surgical plates, suggesting that 3D-printed surgical plates used to reconstruct mandibular body defects with vascularized autogenous bone grafts could lead to secure and stable fixation.

Abstract Our aim was to understand whether using different landmarks for tibial component rotation influenced articular contact pressures in a balanced total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Twelve patients underwent TKA (Triathlon CR, Stryker Inc., Mahwah, NJ) and contact pressures were assessed using a wireless sensor. Robotic arm assisted TKA using a functional alignment technique was performed, with balanced gaps between medial and lateral compartments. Compartment pressures were measured with the trial tibial component rotated to Akagi's line and to Insall's axis respectively. Rotating the tibial component to Akagi's line resulted in a significantly greater proportion of knees being balanced and lower contact pressures than when the tibial component was rotated to Insall's axis at 10°, 45° and 90° of flexion (p < 0.05). Medial compartment pressures were significantly increased in 10° of flexion, as were lateral compartment pressures in all positions when the tibial component was aligned to Insall's axis (p < 0.05). The mean difference in rotation observed with the two landmarks was 6.9° (range 4.1–9.1°). Rotational alignment of the tibial component using Akagi's line reduced contact pressures, improved balance and reduced the need for soft tissue release when compared with Insall's axis in robotic arm assisted TKA.

Abstract This is a study of the dimensional accuracy of the bone cut surfaces in robotic TKA. One surgeon performed robotic TKA on four cadaveric knees. A novel technique was developed for measuring the dimensional accuracy of both the femoral and tibial cut surfaces. CT scans were used to create a pre-operative plan and generate nominal cut surfaces on the 3D bone model. After TKA, the cut surfaces were then laser scanned. Two femoral components were also scanned and compared to nominal dimensions. Flatness was computed as the standard deviation between each of the cut surfaces and the best-fit plane. The angles between the five femoral best-fit planes were compared to the nominal values. The point-to-point distances between the femoral cut surfaces and the nominal cut planes were computed to estimate the bone-to-implant gap. The cut surfaces had an average flatness of 0.16 ± 0.06 mm with low variability between different cut planes. The femoral cut surfaces had average angular errors of 0.47 ± 0.39°, which are of similar magnitude as the errors found for the implants. The bone-to-implant gap was within ±1 mm for 97.9% of the surface on average. Using a novel methodology, the dimensional accuracy of an active robotic system for TKA was found to be very high for both the femoral and tibial bone cuts. Comparison studies are needed with other robotic systems as well as studies comparing manual and robotic techniques.

Abstract The goal of this study was to assess and compare the precision and accuracy of nine and seven methods usually used in Computer Assisted Orthopedic Surgery (CAOS) to estimate respectively the Knee Center (KC) and the Frontal Plane (FP) for the determination of the HKA angle (HKAA). An in-vitro experiment has been realized on thirteen cadaveric lower limbs. A CAOS software application was developed and allowed the computation of the HKAA according to these nine KC and seven FP methods. The precision and the accuracy of the HKAA measurements were measured. The HKAA precision was highest when the FP is determined using the helical method. The HKAA accuracy was highest using the helical approach to determine the FP and either the notch or the tibial spines to determine the KC. This study shows that the helical approach to determine the FP and either the notch or the middle of tibia spines are the combinations that provide both a good enough accuracy and precision to estimate the HKA.

Abstract This study aimed to assess liver fibrosis in rabbits by deep learning models based on acoustic nonlinearity maps. Injection of carbon tetrachloride was used to induce liver fibrosis. Acoustic nonlinearity maps, which were built by data of echo signals, were used as input data for deep learning model. Convolutional neural network (CNN), CNN combined with support vector machine (SVM), CNN combined with random forest and CNN combined with logistic regression were used as deep learning model. Nested 10-fold cross-validation was used to search hyperparameters and evaluate performance of models. Histologic examination of liver specimens of the rabbits was performed to evaluate the fibrosis stage. Receiver operator characteristic curve and area under curve (AUC) were used for estimating the probability of the correct prediction of liver fibrosis stages. A total of 600 acoustic nonlinearity maps were used. Model of CNN combined with SVM demonstrated the best diagnostic performance compared with all other methods for diagnosis of significant fibrosis (≥F2, AUC = 0.82), advanced fibrosis (≥F3, AUC = 0.88) and cirrhosis (F4, AUC = 0.90). Model of CNN showed the second highest AUCs. The deep learning model based on acoustic nonlinearity maps demonstrated potential for evaluation of liver fibrosis.

Abstract Acoustic nonlinear parameter β, was of great interest in tissue characterization in recent years. Nonlinear imaging methods have been reported to provide improved spatial and contrast resolution. We introduce a nonlinear imaging method derived from nonlinear wave equation based on Gaussian-form solution assumption, which can be applied in pulse-echo mode on diagnostic ultrasound. Through making the use of two pulse transmission, only nonlinear effects are reserved and other effects like scattering, diffraction and linear attenuation can be eliminated. For validation of this method a set of simulation results are generated with a nonlinear simulator. Simulated images also indicate that our method clearly describes the spatial distribution of B/A in the medium.

Abstract A metal implant was placed in an acrylic phantom to enable quantitative analysis of the metal artifact reduction techniques used in computed tomography (CT) scanners from three manufacturers. Two titanium rods were placed in a groove in a cylindrical phantom made by acrylic, after which the groove was filled with water. The phantom was scanned using three CT scanners (Toshiba, GE, Siemens) under the abdomen CT setting. CT number accuracy, contrast-to-noise ratio, area of the metal rods in the images, and fraction of affected pixel area of water were measured using ImageJ. Different iterative reconstruction, dual energy, and metal artifact reduction techniques were compared within three vendors. The highest contrast-to-noise ratio of three scanners were 85.7 ± 8.4 (Toshiba), 85.9 ± 11.7 (GE), and 55.0 ± 14.8 (Siemens); and the most correct results of metal area were 157.1 ± 1.4 mm2 (Toshiba), 155.0 ± 1.0 (GE), and 170.6 ± 5.3 (Siemens). The fraction of affected pixel area obtained using single-energy metal artifact reduction of Toshiba scanner was 2.2% ± 0.7%, which is more favorable than 4.1% ± 0.7% obtained using metal artifact reduction software of GE scanner (p = 0.002). Among all quantitative results, the estimations with fraction of affected pixel areas matched the effect of metal artifact reduction in the actual images. Therefore, the single-energy metal artifact reduction technique of Toshiba scanner had a desirable effect. The metal artifact reduction software of GE scanner effectively reduced the effect of metal artifacts; however, it underestimated the size of the metal rods. The monoenergetic and dual energy composition techniques of Siemens scanner could not effectively reduce metal artifacts.

Abstract In this study, the authors used the Fujifilm Prescale Pressure Measuring System to measure the contact pressure and distribution at the jaws of laparoscopic grasping forceps. This data was then correlated with measured pressures at the forceps handles to understand the relationship between the surgeon’s actuating pressure and that on the organ being manipulated. The purpose of this study is to create a database of tactile information to provide guidelines in defining minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This is expected to be important as today's society continues to progress in the use of automation, IoT, AI and MIS. In order to achieve the above, the authors developed an experimental device consisting of an actuator, a load cell and an MCU to stably actuate and control the handle side of grasping forceps. Target organs were simulated using triangular prisms of various silicone rubber materials. The experimental method involved actuating the handle side with preset pressure values for fixed time periods and using sensitive film to measure the pressure at the forceps tip. The film data was then scanned, processed and analyzed.

Abstract Percutaneous needle puncture operation is widely used in the image-guided interventions, including biopsy and ablation. MRI guidance has the advantages of high-resolution soft tissue imaging and thermal monitoring during energy-based ablation. This paper proposes the design of a 5-DOF pneumatic needle puncture robot, with all the cylinders, sensors and structure material MRI-compatible. Also, a hybrid fuzzy-PID controller is designed for the pneumatic driven system to adjust the PID parameters adaptively. The experiment validation result shows that, compared with the traditional fix-parameter PID control, the proposed hybrid fuzzy-PID control has no overshoot, and the settle time/steady state error remains low even with increasing load. This proves that the hybrid fuzzy-PID control strategy can increases the positioning accuracy and robustness of the pneumatic driven needle puncture robot, which is significant for the safety of percutaneous needle puncture operation.
