Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Modeling Approach for Collision Avoidance in Robotic SurgeryReza Ramezanifard, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe present a new system that can be used in combination with an array of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors and has application in surgical navigation procedures. Using the proposed assembly, the maneuverability of the surgical tools can be enhanced and the incidence of potentially damaging contact with non-target tissue can be reduced. The emphasis of our work was based on controlling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,795 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonic Dental Scaler Performance Assessment with an Innovative CavitometerAntonio Henrique Alves Pereira, Camila Tirapelli, Lucimar Antonio RodolphoProblem statement: There is no specific instrument to test ultrasonic dental scalers used in dentistry. Approach: The aim of this research was to develop and test an innovative cavitometer for quantitative and automatic performance assessments of Ultrasonic Dental Scalers (UDS) through the acoustic emission produced by cavitation induced by the tip of the UDS ultrasonic transducer when immersed in aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,535 accessesView PDF Cite
