New Computer Vision Technique Creates Three-Dimensional Bladder Reconstruction

New Computer Vision Technique Creates Three-Dimensional Bladder Reconstruction

The way doctors examine the bladder for tumors or stones is like exploring the contours of a cave with a flashlight. Using cameras attached to long, flexible instruments called endoscopes, they find that it’s sometimes difficult to orient the location of masses within the bladder’s blood vessel-lined walls.
