Small animal experiment method
Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026216595 by ILLUMI MEDICAL INC [JP] (Sasaki Kyo [jp], Nishina Sohji [jp], Tsukamoto Toshihiko [jp], Mizutani Maiko [jp])
Abstract: According to the present invention, in a blood vessel exposure step, an experimenter incises a neck part of a small animal to expose a blood vessel of the neck part. In a drilling step, the experimenter uses a sharp drilling instrument to drill a hole in a portion of a vessel wall in the blood vessel of the neck part. In an insertion step, the experimenter inserts a distal end part of a light irradiation system into the blood vessel of the neck part through the hole in a state where a long light[...]
Our summary: The method involves exposing a blood vessel in a small animal s neck. A hole is drilled in the vessel wall to insert a light irradiation system. The system is then maneuvered to the ventricle for light emission.

Image positioning for diagnostic images
Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026217153 by WELCH ALLYN INC [US] (Kellner David [us])
Abstract: An example system is described herein for a medical device coupled with functionality to capture digital images and positioning information of the medical device while the device is being used for an examination of an anatomical structure of a patient. The positioning information may be captured using motion or proximity sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, or inertial measurement units (IMXJs). The example system may include associated methods implemented to determine relative positions[...]
Our summary: The system captures digital images and positioning information during medical examinations. It utilizes motion sensors to determine the relative positions and quality of images. The captured data can be visualized, annotated, and used for automated diagnosis.

3D pose estimation of epidural catheter markers based on a single-view 2D X-ray fluoroscopy
Published on 2026-05-04 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractMinimal invasive surgery requires precise control of flexible instruments to ensure safe and accurate procedures within complex anatomical structures. Accurate estimation of the three-dimensional (3D) pose of flexible surgical tools such as catheters is therefore crucial. While various sensing-based approaches, including fiber Bragg grating sensors, electromagnetic tracking, and ultrasound localization, have been explored, these methods depend on additional sensing hardware and are sensi[...]
Our summary: This study presents a method for 3D pose estimation of epidural catheters using a single X-ray image. The approach employs slender radiopaque markers and a mixture-of-experts model for real-time tracking. Validation shows clinically acceptable accuracy, enhancing safety in minimally invasive surgeries.

Preparation of surgical indocyanine green-dyed gauze using an autoclave and its near-infrared fluorescence properties
Published on 2026-04-21 by Hidekazu Yasunaga, Yoshihiko Tashiro, Shinji Ando @NATURE
Abstract: Polymer Journal, Published online: 21 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41428-026-01170-9A near-infrared fluorescent surgical gauze was developed by dyeing cotton with indocyanine green (ICG) using an autoclave at 121–132 °C and 0.21–0.29 MPa. The optimal condition (1.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol L–1 ICG, 132 °C, 10–15 min) yielded the brightest fluorescence. Post-sterilization (PS) enhanced fluorescence by dissolving ICG aggregates and improving fixation. The gauze’s color remained similar [...]
Our summary: A near-infrared fluorescent surgical gauze was created by dyeing cotton with indocyanine green using an autoclave. The optimal conditions for dyeing produced the brightest fluorescence, which was further enhanced by post-sterilization. This gauze effectively emits strong NIR signals through tissue and minimizes dye leakage, aiding in surgical site identification.
