Further work is needed to optimize network architecture and parameter tuning for increasing complexity. Task completion was sufficiently achieved in one-dimensional movement in simulations with and without tissue-rendering. Game engines hold promising potential for the design and implementation of RL-based solutions to simulated surgical subtasks. Cumulative reward and PPO metrics did not consistently improve across RL-trained scissors in the setting for movement across 2 axes (horizontal and depth).Conclusion.
Proportional rewards performed better compared to constant rewards. A desirable trajectory of the autonomously behaving scissors was achieved along 1 axis. RL-trained scissors reliably manipulated the rendered tissue that was simulated with soft-tissue properties. Constant and proportional reward functions were tested, and TensorFlow analytics was used to informed hyperparameter tuning and evaluate performance.Results. Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) was used to reward movements and desired behavior such as movement along desired trajectory and optimized cutting maneuvers along the deformable tissue-like object.
In the Unit圓D game engine, the Machine Learning-Agents package was integrated with the NVIDIA FleX particle simulator for developing autonomously behaving RL-trained scissors. We present a novel application of reinforcement learning (RL) for automating surgical maneuvers in a graphical simulation.Methods. The revolutions in AI hold tremendous capacity to augment human achievements in surgery, but robust integration of deep learning algorithms with high-fidelity surgical simulation remains a challenge. Findings from the patient-specific optimization establish DynaRing's ability to adjust the anterior-posterior and intercommissural diameters and saddle height by up to 8.8%, 5.6%, 19.8%, respectively, and match a wide range of patient data.īackground. Ex-vivo experiment results demonstrate that motion of DynaRing closely matches literature values for healthy annuli. We present a patient-specific design approach for determining ring parameters using a finite element model optimization and patient MRI data. We evaluate the ring embedded in porcine valves with an ex-vivo left heart simulator and perform a 150 million cycle fatigue test via a custom oscillatory system. Moreover, adjusting elastomer properties provides a mechanism for effectively tuning key MV metrics to specific patients. The ring provides sufficient stiffness to stabilize a diseased annulus while allowing physiological annular dynamics. DynaRing is a selectively compliant annuloplasty ring composed of varying stiffness elastomer segments, a shape-set nitinol core, and a cross diameter filament.
