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 [...]

An image sampling framework for the ITK
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Staring M., Klein S.
This document describes the implementation of image samplers using the Insight Toolkit ITK url{www.itk.org}. Image samplers take a set of `picks' from an image and store them in an array. A sample consists of the location of the pick (a point) and the [...]

An ITK Implementation of a Diffusion Tensor Images Resampling Filter
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Budin F., Bouix S., Shenton M., Styner M., Oguz I.
This paper describes the implementation of a resampling filter for Diffusion Tensor Images (DTI) in the Insight ToolKit (ITK). ITK already contains a filter for resampling scalar and vector images as well as several transformation and interpolation classes. [...]

Support for Streaming the JPEG2000 File Format
Bottom

Mosaliganti K., Ibanez L., Megason S.
This paper describes our contribution of two new classes to the Insight Toolkit (ITK) community. This includes a base and derived ImageIO class for the JPEG2000 file formats based on the openjpeg-v2 libraries. In the current release of ITK, support for [...]

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 [...]

Cuberille Implicit Surface Polygonization for ITK
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Mueller D.
This article describes an ITK implementation of the "cuberille" method for poloygonization of implicit surfaces. The method operates by dividing the surface into a number of small cubes called cuberilles. Each cuberille is centered at a pixel lying on the [...]

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 [...]

Implementation of graph-based interactive 3D vessel segmentation filter
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Pellow D., Freiman M., Joskowicz L.
This paper describes an ITK implementation of a 3D vascular segmentation filter using a graph-based energy minimization algorithm. The method first computes the shortest path between two user provided points in the vessel and then performs a graph min-cut [...]

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. [...]
