View Award Description

A Dexterous Robot Enhanced with Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging for Placental Vascular Surgeries - Abnormal vessel growth can lead to serious health consequences for a patient including insufficient oxygenation of organs, depletion of key nutrients, and an increased risk of unexpected and severe bleeding. Placental vascular abnormalities that can develop in twins is often fatal, yet the tools needed to treat this vascular condition make surgical care prohibitively challenging. We propose to develop a flexible, robotic ablation system, integrated with laser speckle contrast imaging, to assist the surgeon in identifying and treating vascular defects.
