Convolutional Neural Networks for Accurate Medical Clamp Identification in Hospital Settings
摘要
This study focuses on classifying surgical forceps using deep learning to improve inventory management in medical settings. It targets specific types—such as Allis (curved and straight), Babcock, ring, field, Kelly, and Mixter forceps—using a custom photographic dataset. ResNet101 proved to be a feasible and accurate model for this task, showing strong potential for real-world application. This approach helps reduce equipment mismanagement and enhances operational efficiency. Future work will explore advanced architectures like Encoder-Decoder models, BLIP, YOLO, LSTM, and GRU to further improve classification accuracy and support deployment on devices with limited computational resources.
