Abridged: Clinicians commonly interpret 3D medical images by examining multiple anatomical planes rather than relying on volumetric views. In clinical CT workflows, the axial plane often serves as the primary diagnostic reference, while the…
Real-time 3D navigation during minimally invasive procedures is an essential yet challenging task, especially when considerable tissue motion is involved. To balance image acquisition speed and resolution, only 2D images or low-resolution…
Automatic view positioning is crucial for cardiac computed tomography (CT) examinations, including disease diagnosis and surgical planning. However, it is highly challenging due to individual variability and large 3D search space. Existing…
Extended Reality (XR) technologies are gaining traction as effective tools for medical training and procedural guidance, particularly in complex cardiac interventions. This paper presents a novel system for real-time 3D tracking and…
We propose a new approach for 3D shape matching of deformable human shapes. Our approach is based on the joint adoption of three different tools: an intrinsic spectral matching pipeline, a morphable model, and an extrinsic details…
Multi-modal models require aligned, shared embedding spaces. However, common CLIP-based approaches need large amounts of samples and do not natively support 3D or tabular data, both of which are crucial in the medical domain. To address…
Effective transperineal ultrasound image guidance in prostate external beam radiotherapy requires consistent alignment between probe and prostate at each session during patient set-up. Probe placement and ultrasound image inter-pretation…
Background and Objective: The Acetabular version, an essential factor in total hip arthroplasty, is measured by CT scan as the gold standard. The dose of radiation and expensiveness of CT make anterior-posterior pelvic radiograph an…
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…
Radiotherapy (RT) planning is complex, subjective, and time-intensive. Advances with artificial intelligence (AI) promise to improve its precision and efficiency, but progress is often limited by the scarcity of large, standardized…
Table tennis stroke training is a critical aspect of player development. We designed a new augmented reality (AR) system, avaTTAR, for table tennis stroke training. The system provides both "on-body" (first-person view) and "detached"…
We propose a method to non-rigidly align a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric image with a two-dimensional (2D) planar image representing a projection of the deformed volume. The application in mind comes from biological studies in which 2D…
In this publication, the interactive planning and reconstruction of cranial 3D Implants under the medical prototyping platform MeVisLab as alternative to commercial planning software is introduced. In doing so, a MeVisLab prototype…
Nonlinear registration of 2D histological sections with corresponding slices of MRI data is a critical step of 3D histology reconstruction. This task is difficult due to the large differences in image contrast and resolution, as well as the…
Purpose 3D acquisitions are often acquired to assess the result in orthopedic trauma surgery. With a mobile C-Arm system, these acquisitions can be performed intra-operatively. That reduces the number of required revision surgeries.…
Augmented Reality (AR) holds the potential to revolutionize surgical procedures by allowing surgeons to visualize critical structures within the patient's body. This is achieved through superimposing preoperative organ models onto the…
We present EgoTAP, a heatmap-to-3D pose lifting method for highly accurate stereo egocentric 3D pose estimation. Severe self-occlusion and out-of-view limbs in egocentric camera views make accurate pose estimation a challenging problem. To…
Despite recent advances in facial recognition, there remains a fundamental issue concerning degradations in performance due to substantial perspective (pose) differences between enrollment and query (probe) imagery. Therefore, we propose a…
While cervical arthroplasty using Total Disc Replacement (TDR) implants is an established treatment for persistent neck and arm pain, revision rates limit it from reaching its full potential. To address the underlying complications, we…
Surgical planning for congenital heart diseases requires a collaborative approach, traditionally involving the 3D-printing of physical heart models for inspection by surgeons and cardiologists. Recent advancements in mobile augmented…
