Evaluation of Augmented Reality-based Intuitive Interface for Robot-Assisted Transesophageal Echocardiography: A User Study (opens in new tab)

TransEsophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is essential for diagnosing and guiding Structural Heart Disease (SHD) interventions. However, manual TEE manipulation demands significant operator expertise, is physically demanding, and exposes clinicians to radiation when performed alongside fluoroscopy. Robotic-assisted TEE systems have been introduced to improve probe handling and reduce operator fatigue, yet the design of intuitive and effective user ...
