Hand-surface interactions between clinicians, patients, and medical equipment play a central role in pathogen transmission during medical procedures. However, these interactions remain largely unobserved, as current infection-prevention…
Open gantry C-arm systems that are placed within the interventional room enable 3-D imaging and guidance for stroke therapy without patient transfer. This can profit in drastically reduced time-totherapy, however, due to the interventional…
Widespread RGB-Depth (RGB-D) sensors and advanced 3D reconstruction technologies facilitate the capture of indoor spaces, improving the fields of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR). Nevertheless, current…
Purpose: Trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) using the da Vinci surgical robot is a new minimally-invasive surgery method to treat oropharyngeal tumors, but it is a challenging operation. Augmented reality (AR) based on intra-operative…
Embodied interaction has been introduced to human-robot interaction (HRI) as a type of teleoperation, in which users control robot arms with bodily action via handheld controllers or haptic gloves. Embodied teleoperation has made robot…
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…
Under conventional "open-" surgery, the physician has to take care of the patient, interact with other clinicians and check several monitoring devices. Nowadays, the Computer Assisted Surgery proposes to integrate 3D cameras in the…
Screen-based Augmented Reality (AR) systems can be built as a window into the real world as often done in mobile AR applications or using the Magic Mirror metaphor, where users can see themselves with augmented graphics on a large display.…
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…
Motion information from 4D medical imaging offers critical insights into dynamic changes in patient anatomy for clinical assessments and radiotherapy planning and, thereby, enhances the capabilities of 3D image analysis. However, inherent…

Since the mapping relationship between definitized intra-interventional X-ray and undefined pre-interventional Computed Tomography(CT) is uncertain, auxiliary positioning devices or body markers, such as medical implants, are commonly used…
When technical requirements are high, and patient outcomes are critical, opportunities for monitoring and improving surgical skills via objective motion analysis feedback may be particularly beneficial. This narrative review synthesises…
In augmented reality (AR), users can place virtual objects anywhere in a real-world room, called AR layout. Although several object manipulation techniques have been proposed in AR, it is difficult to use them for AR layout owing to the…
Background: Out-of-plane lesions pose challenges for CT-guided interventions. Augmented reality (AR) headset devices have evolved and are readily capable to provide virtual 3D guidance to improve CT-guided targeting. Purpose: To describe…
Advanced surgical procedures for congenital heart diseases (CHDs) require precise planning before the surgeries. The conventional approach utilizes 3D-printing and cutting physical heart models, which is a time and resource intensive…
Interventional C-arm systems allow flexible 2-D imaging of a 3-D scene while being capable of cone beam computed tomography. Due to the flexible structure of the C-arm, the rotation speed is limited, increasing the acquisition time compared…
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to improve the immersion and efficiency of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) by allowing surgeons to maintain focus on the operating site rather than external displays in the operating…
