Purpose: To evaluate the performance of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in optical coherence tomography (OCT) data using a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort. Methods: We assessed 22 donors and 23 patients requiring…
A Convolutional Neural Network was used to predict kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease from high-resolution digital pathology scans of their kidney biopsies. Kidney biopsies were taken from participants of the NEPTUNE…
The aim of this work is to implement a simple freehand ultrasound (US) probe calibration technique. This will enable us to visualize US image data during surgical procedures using augmented reality. The performance of the system was…
This work presents an evaluation study using a force feedback evaluation framework for a novel direct needle force volume rendering concept in the context of liver puncture simulation. PTC/PTCD puncture interventions targeting the bile…
The first choice in diagnostic imaging for patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease is 2D ultrasound (US). However, for a proper imaging process, a skilled and experienced sonographer is required. Additionally, it is a highly…
This paper presents a method to reduce the invasiveness of Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) using ultrasound. In this goal, we need to develop a method for 3D/4D ultrasound registration. The premilinary results of this study…
The collection and the analysis of kidney stone morphological criteria are essential for an aetiological diagnosis of stone disease. However, in-situ LASER-based fragmentation of urinary stones, which is now the most established chirurgical…
Augmented reality has the potential to improve operating room workflow by allowing physicians to "see" inside a patient through the projection of imaging directly onto the surgical field. For this to be useful the acquired imaging must be…
Positioning patients for scanning and interventional procedures is a critical task that requires high precision and accuracy. The conventional workflow involves manually adjusting the patient support to align the center of the target body…
Objective The 3D printed medical models can come from virtual digital resources, like CT scanning. Nevertheless, the accuracy of CT scanning technology is limited, which is 1mm. In this situation, the collected data is not exactly the same…
Deformable image registration, estimating the spatial transformation between different images, is an important task in medical imaging. Many previous studies have used learning-based methods for multi-stage registration to perform 3D image…
Studying tissue samples obtained during autopsies is the gold standard when diagnosing the cause of death and for understanding disease pathophysiology. Recently, the interest in post mortem minimally invasive biopsies has grown which is a…
Brain shift makes the pre-operative MRI navigation highly inaccurate hence the intraoperative modalities are adopted in surgical theatre. Due to the excellent economic and portability merits, the Ultrasound imaging is used at our…
Various imaging artifacts, low signal-to-noise ratio, and bone surfaces appearing several millimeters in thickness have hindered the success of ultrasound (US) guided computer assisted orthopedic surgery procedures. In this work, a…
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease, yet the scarcity of donors and inefficiencies in allocation systems create major bottlenecks, resulting in prolonged wait times and alarming mortality rates.…
In response to the growing demand for precise and affordable solutions for Image-Guided Spine Surgery (IGSS), this paper presents a comprehensive development of a Robot-Assisted and Navigation-Guided IGSS System. The endeavor involves…
Abstract Background During percutaneous puncture robotic surgical navigation, the needle insertion point is positioned on the patient's chest and abdomen body surface. By locating any point on the soft skin tissue, it is difficult to apply…
Unsafe surgical care is a critical health concern, often linked to limitations in surgeon experience, skills, and situational awareness. Integrating patient-specific 3D models into the surgical field can enhance visualization, provide…
A major bottleneck in Computer-Assisted Preoperative Planning (CAPP) for fracture reduction is the limited availability of annotated data. While annotated datasets are now available for evaluating bone fracture segmentation algorithms,…
Background: Automated analysis of CT scans for abdominal organ measurement is crucial for improving diagnostic efficiency and reducing inter-observer variability. Manual segmentation and measurement of organs such as the kidneys, liver,…
