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…

Robotic ultrasound (US) imaging has been seen as a promising solution to overcome the limitations of free-hand US examinations, i.e., inter-operator variability. However, the fact that robotic US systems cannot react to subject movements…

Robotic three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) imaging has been employed to overcome the drawbacks of traditional US examinations, such as high inter-operator variability and lack of repeatability. However, object movement remains a…

Freehand 3D ultrasound (US) reconstruction promises volumetric imaging with the flexibility of standard 2D probes, yet existing tracking paradigms face a restrictive trilemma: marker-based systems demand prohibitive costs, inside-out…

Accurate volumetric characterization of lesions is essential for oncologic diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning. While imaging modalities such as Computed Tomography provide high-quality 3D data, 2D ultrasound (2D-US)…

Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in diagnosing and staging abdominal diseases due to its lack of non-ionizing radiation and prevalent availability. However, significant inter-operator variability and inconsistent image acquisition…

Ultrasound (US) imaging is a vital adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening and diagnosis, but its reliance on hand-held transducers often lacks repeatability and heavily depends on sonographers' skills. Integrating US systems from…

The release of Microsoft's HoloLens headset addresses new types of issues that would have been difficult to design without such a hardware. This semi-transparent visor headset allows the user who wears it to view the projection of 3D…

Robotic-assisted procedures offer numerous advantages over traditional approaches, including improved dexterity, reduced fatigue, minimized trauma, and superior outcomes. However, the main challenge of these systems remains the poor…

Accurate visualization of interventional devices, such as medical needles, is essential for the safe and effective guidance of minimally invasive procedures. Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for needle guidance, but the…

We present Holoview, an augmented reality (AR) system designed to support immersive and interactive learning of human anatomy. Holoview enables users to dynamically explore volumetric anatomical data through intuitive hand gestures in a 3D…

Three-dimensional (3D) Ultrasound (US) can facilitate diagnosis, treatment planning, and image-guided therapy. However, current studies rarely provide a comprehensive evaluation of volumetric accuracy and reproducibility, highlighting the…

Objective: The objective of this work is an attempt towards non-contact freehand 3D ultrasound imaging with minimal complexity added to the existing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) systems. Methods: This study proposes a novel approach of…

Freehand three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) has gained considerable interest in research, but even today suffers from its high inter-operator variability in clinical practice. The high variability mainly arises from tracking inaccuracies…

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer significantly improves a patient's 5-year survival rate. Biopsy of small prostate cancers is improved with image-guided biopsy. MRI-ultrasound fusion-guided biopsy is sensitive to smaller tumors but is…

Ultrasound offers a radiation-free, cost-effective solution for real-time visualization of spinal landmarks, paraspinal soft tissues and neurovascular structures, making it valuable for intraoperative guidance during spinal procedures.…

Finding point-level correspondences is a fundamental problem in ultrasound (US), since it can enable US landmark tracking for intraoperative image guidance in different surgeries, including head and neck. Most existing US tracking methods,…

Mixed reality head-mounted displays (mxdR-HMD) have the potential to visualize volumetric medical imaging data in holograms to provide a true sense of volumetric depth. An effective user interface, however, has yet to be thoroughly studied.…

In medical imaging, there is a growing interest to provide real-time images with good quality for large anatomical structures. To cope with this issue, we developed a library that allows to replace, for some specific clinical applications,…

Freehand 3D ultrasound (US) imaging using conventional 2D probes offers flexibility and accessibility for diverse clinical applications but faces challenges in accurate probe pose estimation. Traditional methods depend on costly tracking…
