Purpose: Biopsies play a crucial role in determining the classification and staging of tumors. Ultrasound is frequently used in this procedure to provide real-time anatomical information. Using augmented reality (AR), surgeons can visualize…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The research done in the field of Augmented Reality (AR) for patient positioning in radiation therapy is scarce. We propose an efficient and cost-effective algorithm for tracking the scene and the patient to…
One of the major challenges in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) such as laparoscopy is the lack of depth perception. In recent years, laparoscopic scene tracking and surface reconstruction has been a focus of investigation to provide rich…
Occlusion-free video generation is challenging due to surgeons' obstructions in the camera field of view. Prior work has addressed this issue by installing multiple cameras on a surgical light, hoping some cameras will observe the surgical…
Accurate needle placement in spine interventions is critical for effective pain management, yet it depends on reliable identification of anatomical landmarks and careful trajectory planning. Conventional imaging guidance often relies both…
In recent years the NHS has been having increased difficulty seeing all low-risk patients, this includes but not limited to suspected osteoarthritis (OA) patients. To help address the increased waiting lists and shortages of staff, we…
This research paper explores the classification of knee osteoarthritis (OA) severity levels using advanced computer vision models and augmentation techniques. The study investigates the effectiveness of data preprocessing, including…
The goal of MRI reconstruction is to restore a high fidelity image from partially observed measurements. This partial view naturally induces reconstruction uncertainty that can only be reduced by acquiring additional measurements. In this…
This paper presents a dynamic arthroscopic navigation system based on multi-level memory architecture for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. The system extends our previously proposed markerless navigation method from…
Medical ultrasound (US) imaging is a frontline tool for the diagnosis of kidney diseases. However, traditional freehand imaging procedure suffers from inconsistent, operator-dependent outcomes, lack of 3D localization information, and risks…
Accurate reconstruction of implanted knee models is crucial in orthopedic surgery and biomedical engineering, enhancing preoperative planning, optimizing implant design, and improving surgical outcomes. Traditional methods rely on…
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques have gained rapid popularity among surgeons since they offer significant clinical benefits including reduced recovery time and diminished post-operative adverse effects. However, conventional…
The use of Augmented Reality (AR) for navigation purposes has shown beneficial in assisting physicians during the performance of surgical procedures. These applications commonly require knowing the pose of surgical tools and patients to…
Video and wearable sensor data provide complementary information about human movement. Video provides a holistic understanding of the entire body in the world while wearable sensors provide high-resolution measurements of specific body…
Radiographic knee alignment (KA) measurement is important for predicting joint health and surgical outcomes after total knee replacement. Traditional methods for KA measurements are manual, time-consuming and require long-leg radiographs.…
In surgical navigation, finding correspondence between preoperative plan and intraoperative anatomy, the so-called registration task, is imperative. One promising approach is to intraoperatively digitize anatomy and register it with the…
In conventional 2D DCE-US, motion correction algorithms take advantage of accompanying side-by-side anatomical Bmode images that contain time-stable features. However, current commercial models of 3D DCE-US do not provide side-by-side Bmode…
Involuntary motion during weight-bearing cone-beam computed tomography (CT) scans of the knee causes artifacts in the reconstructed volumes making them unusable for clinical diagnosis. Currently, image-based or marker-based methods are…
The recent proposal of a new alignment solution for X-ray tomography, Virtual alignment method (VAM) allowed a more accurate method to remove the possible errors that limit the resolution and clarity of the reconstructed image. In the field…
A low-cost, accurate device to measure and record knee range of motion (ROM) is of the essential need to improve confidence in at-home rehabilitation. It is to reduce hospital stay duration and overall medical cost after Total Knee…
