We are developing virtual fixtures for the internal mammary artery (IMA) harvest portion of robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft procedures. A preoperative CT scan will be p...
A computer-based algorithm is being developed which, using preoperative images, provides the surgeon with a list of feasible port triplets ranked according to tool dexterity and en...

Abstract. We describe a virtual reality application for visualizing tensorvalued volume data acquired with diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI). We have prototyped...
Abstract. Criteria to design MR (Magnetic Resonance) compatible mechatronic devices, e.g., surgical robots, are discussed. Some of critical interactions between MRI and mechatronic...
We present algorithms for the automatic delineation of lung fields in chest radiographs. We first develop a rule-based scheme that detects lung contours using a general framework...
