Flexible architecture and modularity requirements for image guided cardiovascular surgeries
Bottom
No opinion
Moore J., Linte C., Wedlake C., Chen E., Peters T.
Research and development of image guided surgery techniques requires software that provides a high degree of flexibility, with easy access to reliable functionality for common tasks. The goal of this paper is to highlight this claim in the context of image [...]

A modular architecture for biomanipulation
Bottom
No opinion
Gao Y., Taylor R., Kumar R.
The Johns Hopkins University Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) modular software framework provides support for robotic devices, imaging sensors and a visualization pipeline for rapid prototyping, primarily for surgical research systems. We extend the SAW [...]

ReachIN: A Modular Vision Based Interface for Teleoperation
Bottom
No opinion
Guerin K., Vagvolgyi B., Deguet A., Chen C.C.G., Yuh D., Kumar R.
Teleoperation is currently the dominant form of instrument control for surgical robotics. For example, the mechanical masters in the da Vinci surgical system provides a stable, precise interface for teleoperation, allowing execution of delicate tasks in [...]

Framework of US-guided therapeutic HIFU system for renal diseases
Bottom
No opinion
Seo J., Koizumi N., Lee D., Sugita N., Yoshinaka K., Nomiya A., Yoichiro M., Mamoru M.
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 [...]

Extending MITK by a real-time online video overlay navigation system for minimally invasive surgery
Bottom
No opinion
Keil M., Noll M.
The purpose of this paper is to present our extension of the MITK toolkit by a real-time navigation system for computer assisted surgery. The system was developed with laparoscopic partial nephrectomies as a first application scenario. The main goal of the [...]

User Interface Integration and Remote Control for Modular Surgical Assist Systems
Bottom
No opinion
Bohn S., Hilbert T., Burgert O.
Today’s operating rooms consist of numerous medical devices, clinical IT systems and systems for computer assisted surgery. The majority of these systems comes from different vendors and has different user interface designs and interaction schemes. This [...]

IHE in Surgery - Proposal for a new IHE domain
Bottom
No opinion
Burgert O., Treichel T., Bohn S.
IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) gives guidelines on which standards in medicine shall be used in which way to achieve a specific goal. Therefore, IHE can serve as a basis to promote the usage of open standards in Computer Assisted Interventions. [...]

The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) in Minimally-Invasive Surgery and Microsurgery
Bottom
No opinion
Kazanzides P., DiMaio S., Deguet A., Vagvolgyi B., Balicki M., Schneider C., Kumar R., Jog A., Itkowitz B., Hasser C., Taylor R.
The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) provides a modular, open-source software framework to support rapid prototyping of computer-assisted surgery systems, especially those that benefit from enhanced 3D visualization and user interaction. The framework [...]

The MUSiiC Toolkit: Modular Real-Time Toolkit for Advanced Ultrasound Research
Bottom
No opinion
Stolka P., Kang H., Boctor E.
Ultrasound is a very useful and convenient modality in medical imaging, due to its relatively small footprint, high resolution, negligible adverse effects, and real-time imaging capability -- in spite of its well-known artifacts. However, it is fairly [...]

An Intelligent cluster-based segmentation using Wavelet Features:Application to Medical Images
Bottom
No opinion
V T., J J.
Segmentation forms the onset for image analysis especially for medical images, making any abnormalities in tissues distinctly visible. Possible application includes the detection of tumor boundary in SPECT, MRI or electron MRI (EMRI). Nevertheless, tumors [...]
