Towards an open-source pipeline for patient-specific neurosurgery simulation
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Surgery simulation is a technology based on interactive biomechanics as well as haptic and visual rendering for training novice surgeons. Another important component of a surgery simulator is the representation of a patient's anatomy in terms of simple [...]

Robot assisted prostate surgery using augmented reality with deformable models
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
We present preliminary results of our work to develop an augmented display for improved visualization
of the prostate and surrounding critical anatomy for robot-assisted prostate surgery. Prostate
cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in [...]

The authors describe a framework for the US-guided therapeutic HIFU system for renal diseases. In particular, the HIFU system is integrated with robotic servoing capability so as to track quasi-periodically moving renal tumors and stones. The system is [...]

Segmentation of the Left Ventricle from Cine MR Images Using a Comprehensive Approach
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Segmentation of the left ventricle is important in assessment of cardiac functional parameters. Currently, manual segmentation is the gold standard for acquiring these parameters and can be time-consuming. Therefore, accuracy and automation are two important [...]

3D Segmentation in the Clinic: A Grand Challenge II: MS lesion segmentation
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
This paper describes the setup of a segmentation competition for the automatic extraction of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions from brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. This competition is one of three competitions that make up a comparison workshop at [...]
