27 Soft Tissue Tracking with HR Cameras Yehiel insists on soft tissues tracking, as these structures are often difficult to distinguish in lower resolution images. In medical applications it is crucial to have a clear visualization, which leads to a sharper understanding of the location and movements of these tissues . Innovative AI algorithms are the key to making this possible. What are the MedTech fields which most benefit from the breakthroughs allowed by high resolution cameras? “ We have been able to achieve significant advances in a variety of medical applications ”, Yehiel clarifies. “ This includes work in surgery, navigation, rehabilitation, andmonitoring of patient health . ” This is done through a combination of classic algorithms like SIFT (Scale- Invariant Feature Transform) and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) with AI neural networks trained through unsupervised deep learning. These algorithmic techniques are used in a very similar way to solve very similar problems in other fields (like autonomous driving) where the algorithms need to choosewhich features are relevant to the task at hand. “ The use of high-resolution cameras in medical imaging ”, Yehiel concludes, “ enables us to spot features which are generally undetected, giving us a stable view of soft tissue - like blood vessels. When analyzing anatomy, the more you improve the resolution the more you see! And this leads to better patient outcomes and more successful medical procedures . ” Ask your RSIP Vision contact how they can do it for your project too. RSIP Vision is transforming the way that we track and analyze soft tissue in medical imaging with the use of high-resolution cameras . In fact, high-resolution cameras are becoming increasingly important in the field of medical image analysis and AI, particularly when it comes to tracking soft tissues . These cameras have a higher pixel count and better input/output quality than traditional cameras, allowing for greater detail and accuracy in the captured images. This increased resolution is particularly useful when it comes to tracking soft tissue, as it allows for the capture of more data points that can be used by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to perform stable tracking. RSIP Vision’s R&D manager Yehiel Shilo confirms that the new cameras enable much more visual intelligence, allowing for more accurate tracking and analysis of soft tissue: “ This is particularly beneficial in the field of surgery ”, he adds, “ where precise measurements are often critical for successful outcomes. Moreover, high- resolution cameras are being used in other areas of medicine to track the movement and behavior of soft tissue, such as monitoring the healing process of injuries .” This is essential for a variety of modern medical applications.
