An approach for estimating the deformation of the prostate caused by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe insertion is presented. This work is particularly useful during brachytherapy procedures, in which planning for ...

Malformed ears of neonates can be effectively treated by employing an orthosis of suitable shape. Currently, we use orthoses made of nitinol shape memory alloy wire and have developed a computer-assisted design system...

This paper proposes a computer-assisted system for the surgical treatment of exophthalmia. This treatment is classically characterized by a decompression of the orbit, by the mean of an orbital walls osteotomy. The pl...

In this paper, we propose a multi-modal image registration method based on the a priori knowledge of the expected joint intensity distribution estimated from aligned training images. The goal of the registration is to...

We describe a simple, safe, and inexpensive image overlay system to assist surgical interventions inside a conventional CT scanner. The overlay system is mounted non-invasively on the gantry of the CT scanner and it c...

The most attractive feature of 2D B-mode ultrasound for intra-operative use is that it is both a real time and a highly interactive modality. Most 3D freehand reconstruction methods, however, are not fully interactive...

A method to extract and track the position of a guide wire during endovascular interventions under X-ray fluoroscopy is presented and evaluated. The method can be used to improve guide wire visualization in the low qu...

A simulation environment has been developed to aid the development of three-dimensional (3D) angiographic imaging of the coronary arteries for use during minimally invasive robotic cardiac surgery. We have previously ...

This paper suggests an ultrasound guided needle insertion instrument which can track target motion in real-time. Under traditional ultrasound guided needle insertion therapies, surgeons have had much burden to find ou...
