Data and code from: Deep learning-based autonomous retinal vein cannulation in ex vivo porcine eyes
Version 1Retinal Vein Cannulation (RVC) is an emerging method for treating Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO). The success of this procedure depends on surgeon expertise and, recently, robotic assistance. This paper proposes an autonomous RVC workflow leveraging deep learning and computer vision.
