Co-registering pre- and intra- operative MR data is an important yet challenging problem due to different acquisition parameters, resolutions, and plane orientations. Despite its importance, previous approaches are often computationally intensive and thus cannot be employed in real-time. In this paper, a novel three-step approach is proposed to dynamically register pre-operative 4D MR data with intra-operative 2D RT-MRI to guide intracardiac procedures. Specifically, a novel preparatory step, executed in the pre-operative phase, is introduced to generate bridging information that can be used to significantly speed up the on-the-fly registration in the intraoperative procedure. Our experimental results demonstrate an accuracy of 0.42 mm and a processing speed of 26 FPS of the proposed approach on an off-the-shelf PC. This approach, is in particularly developed for performing intra-cardiac procedures with real-time MR guidance.

As a part of an ongoing project, in this paper we introduce the first version of a system which has a novel methodology for Cine (as in cinema) MRI based control of a cardiac robot for beating heart surgeries. The system uses the preoperative planning approach that we developed earlier, and integrates it to the intraoperative algorithms for controlling a robot and tracking some specific landmarks of a highly dynamical surgical field. In particular, our late studies presented herein aim to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating appropriate computational tools to achieve the volumetric image guidance for minimally invasive surgeries in the beating heart. We conceive of the system as practicable for in vitro experiments upon the completion of the first physical prototype, which may pave the way for expansion of the approach for other complex surgeries as well.

Traditional models of input work on the assumption that inputs delivered to a system are fairly certain to have occurred as they are reported. However, a number of new input modalities, such as pen-based inputs, hand and body gesture inputs, and voice input, do not share this property. Inputs under these techniques are normally acquired by a process of recognition. As a result, each of these techniques makes mistakes and provides inputs which are approximate or uncertain. This paper considers some preliminry techniques for dialog management in the presence of this uncertainty. These techniques—including a new input model and a set of extended state machine abstractions—will explicitly model uncertainty and handle it as a normal and expected part of the input process.

In this paper, our experiences so far with developing a platform for mobile P2P applications with the LightPeers framework are presented. We experienced that the use of a role-based approach in the initial application development phase showed useful. The roles provide a high-level abstraction for common peer behavior within a session, and are suitable for describing a specific setup of peers, e.g., when developing a new system
