3D echocardiography is a recent cardiac imaging method actively developed for quantitative analysis of heart function. A major barrier for its use as a quantitative tool in routine clinical practice is the absence of ...

We describe a new magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis tool that produces cortical surface representations with spherical topology from MR images of the human brain. The tool provides a sequence of low-level operati...

A robust method for the removal of non-cerebral tissue in T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) brain images is presented. This procedure, often referred to as skull stripping, is an important step in neuroimaging. Our ...

Performing a craniotomy will cause brain tissue to shift. As a result of the craniotomy, the accuracy of stereotactic localization techniques is reduced unless the brain shift can be accurately measured. If an ultraso...

This paper presents a statistical approach to aggregating speed and phase (directional) information for vascular segmentation in phase contrast magnetic resonance angiograms (PC-MRA), and proposes a Maxwell-Gaussian f...

In image-guided neurosurgery, "mixed reality" merging has been used to merge video images with an underlying computer model. We have developed methods to map intra-operative endoscopic video to 3D surfaces d...
详细信息
Previous studies and surgeon interviews have shown that most surgeons prefer quality standard definition (SD)TV 2D scopes to first generation 3D endoscopes. The use of a telesurgical system has eased many of the desig...
详细信息
We present a new algorithm for the non-rigid registration of 3D Magnetic Resonance (MR) intraoperative image sequences showing brain shift. The algorithm tracks key surfaces (cortical surface and the lateral ventricle...
详细信息
Existing differential approaches to the localization of 3D anatomical point landmarks in 3D tomographic images are relatively sensitive to noise as well as to small intensity variations, both of which result in false ...

This application report describes the software system ROBO-SIM, which is a planning and simulation tool for minimally invasive neurosurgery. Using actual patients’ datasets, ROBO-SIM consists of a planning unit and a...
