Real-time guidewire segmentation and endpoint localization play a pivotal role in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, which is helpful to reduce radiation dose and procedure time. Nevertheless, the tasks often come with the challenge of limited computational resources. For this purpose, a real-time multi-task framework with two stages is developed. In the first stage, a Fast Attention-fused...
