3D reconstruction is a challenging current topic in medical research. We perform 3D reconstructions from serial sections stained by immunohistological methods. This paper presents an immersive visualisation solution to quality control (QC),…
Virtual patients and digital patients/twins are two similar concepts gaining increasing attention in health care with goals to accelerate drug development and improve patients' survival, but with their own limitations. Although methods have…
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…
From birth to death, we all experience surprisingly ubiquitous changes over time due to aging. If we can predict aging in the digital domain, that is, the digital twin of the human body, we would be able to detect lesions in their very…
Purpose: We present a virtual model to optimize point of entry (POE) in lung biopsy planning systems. Our model allows to compute the quality of a biopsy sample taken from potential POE, taking into account the margin of error that arises…
Robotic-assisted medical systems (RAMS) have gained significant attention for their advantages in alleviating surgeons' fatigue and improving patients' outcomes. These systems comprise a range of human-computer interactions, including…
Purpose: Ultrasound-guided needle interventions are widely used in clinical practice, but their success critically depends on accurate needle placement, which is frequently hindered by the poor and intermittent visibility of needles in…
Physical rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring functional abilities, but traditional approaches often face challenges in terms of cost, accessibility, and personalized monitoring. Asynchronous physical rehabilitation has gained…
Telesurgery is an effective way to deliver service from expert surgeons to areas without immediate access to specialized resources. However, many of these areas, such as rural districts or battlefields, might be subject to different…
This paper introduces the principles of computer assisted percutaneous renal puncture, that would provide the surgeon with an accurate pre-operative 3D planning on CT images and, after a rigid registration with space-localized echographic…
Minimally invasive surgery is highly operator dependant with a lengthy procedural time causing fatigue to surgeon and risks to patients such as injury to organs, infection, bleeding, and complications of anesthesia. To mitigate such risks,…
