Journal ArticleDOI
Single-operator real-time ultrasound-guidance to aim and insert a lumbar epidural needle
Denis Tran,Allaudin A. Kamani,Elias Al-Attas,Victoria A. Lessoway,Simon Massey,Robert Rohling +5 more
TL;DR: This small study demonstrates the feasibility of the ultrasound-guidance technique for epidural needle insertion under real-time guidance and investigates the geometric limitations of using a fixed needle guide.
Journal ArticleDOI
SLIDE: automatic spine level identification system using a deep convolutional neural network.
TL;DR: A machine learning system is presented that successfully identifies lumbar vertebral levels from a sequence of ultrasound images, using a deep convolutional neural network to classify transverse images of the lower spine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preinsertion Paramedian Ultrasound Guidance for Epidural Anesthesia
Denis Tran,Allaudin A. Kamani,Victoria A. Lessoway,Carly Peterson,King Wei Hor,Robert Rohling +5 more
TL;DR: Paramedian ultrasound can be used to estimate the midline depth to the epidural space, but the surrogate measures are not sufficiently correlated with the Depth of the Epidural space to recommend them as a replacement for the actual depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic Localization of the Needle Target for Ultrasound-Guided Epidural Injections
TL;DR: A hybrid machine learning system is proposed to automatically localize the needle target for epidural needle placement in ultrasound images of the spine, using a deep network architecture along with a feature augmentation technique for automatic identification of the anatomical landmarks of the epidural space in ultrasound pictures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instrumentation of the Loss-of-Resistance Technique for Epidural Needle Insertion
TL;DR: Quantitative results improve the understanding of small differences in feel that have been previously known qualitatively and may help in the development of simulators.
