The absence of Aβ deposition in many patients with chronic neuropsychological impairment after TBI does not support the premise that Aβ pathology progresses over time in the traumatized brain. Early and sequential (11)C-PIB PET examination may clarify the time course of Aβ deposition in the traumatized brain and the relationship between traumatic brain insult and subsequent neuropsychological impairment.

This paper proposes a novel master-slave robotic catheter operating system with force feedback and visual feedback for vascular interventional surgery (VIS). The robotic catheter system has good manoeuvrability, it can transmit the surgeon's skill to insert and rotate the catheter and avoids danger during VIS using force and visual feedback. In addition, it can be used to train unskilled surgeons to perform VIS. We performed a simulation experiment to validate our system using an endovascular evaluator (EVE). The experimental results demonstrated that the stability and response of the system were good. The robotic catheter system is suitable for performing VIS.
