Is it possible to compensate for breathing motion while navigating a 2-mm soft magnetic catheter deep within the bronchial tree? In our new paper, we demonstrate that with a specific magnetization profile and the right magnetic field sequence, this is possible. This is another little step towards robotically reaching peripheral lung tumours to improve healthcare […]
We are pleased to share that our research on the “Magnetic Flexible Endoscope: A Novel Platform for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Colonoscopy” has been featured on the cover of the March 2024 issue of the International Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. This collaborative effort, between Claire A. Landewee, Conchúbhair Winters, James Martin, Joseph Norton, Simone Calo, Bruno […]
