Flat panel computed tomography is used intraoperatively to assess the result of surgery. Due to workflow issues, the acquisition typically cannot be carried out in such a way that the axis aligned multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) of the…
3D perceptual representations are well suited for robot manipulation as they easily encode occlusions and simplify spatial reasoning. Many manipulation tasks require high spatial precision in end-effector pose prediction, which typically…
Cochlear implantation is currently the most effective treatment for patients with severe deafness, but mastering cochlear implantation is extremely challenging because the temporal bone has extremely complex and small three-dimensional…
Medical ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in clinical examinations due to its portability, real-time capability, and radiation-free nature. To address inter- and intra-operator variability, robotic ultrasound systems have gained…
Although fully autonomous systems still face challenges due to patients' anatomical variability, teleoperated systems appear to be more practical in current healthcare settings. This paper presents an anatomy-aware control framework for…
We present a new method for generating realistic and view-consistent images with fine geometry from 2D image collections. Our method proposes a hybrid explicit-implicit representation called \textbf{OrthoPlanes}, which encodes fine-grained…
We propose a fully automatic method to find standardized view planes in 3D image acquisitions. Standard view images are important in clinical practice as they provide a means to perform biometric measurements from similar anatomical…
Adjusting to amputation can often time be difficult for the body. Post-surgery, amputees have to wait for up to several months before receiving a properly fitted prosthesis. In recent years, there has been a trend toward quantitative…
Intraoperative CT imaging serves as a crucial resource for surgical guidance; however, it may not always be readily accessible or practical to implement. In scenarios where CT imaging is not an option, reconstructing CT scans from X-rays…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patient positioning is a crucial step in radiation therapy, for which non-invasive methods have been developed based on surface reconstruction using optical 3D imaging. However, most solutions need expensive…
Automated diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease(AD) from brain imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has become increasingly important and has attracted the community to contribute many deep learning methods. However, many of these…
Background. Flexible bendable instruments are key tools for performing surgical endoscopy. Being able to measure the 3D position of such instruments can be useful for various tasks, such as controlling automatically robotized instruments…
