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...

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 ...

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...

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...

In this paper, we present a study that evaluates the effect of visual and haptic feedbacks and their relevance to human performance in a needle insertion task. A virtual needle insertion simulator with a four-layer ti...

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...

Fast image registration for magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided surgery using projection profile matching embedded in MR pulse sequence is proposed. the method can perform two-dimensional image registration by match...

In medicalimages, the tube-formed tissues such as the blood vessels, the trachea, and the pancreatic duct are sometimes partially masked because of the constriction, stones in the vessels, the pancreatic cancer, etc....

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 ...

In the automatic segmentation of echocardiographic images, a priori shape knowledge is used to compensate poor features in ultrasound images. the shape knowledge is often learned via off-line training process, which r...
