We address the problem of the stitching task in endoscopic surgery using a circular needle under robotic assistance. Our main focus is to present an algorithm for suturing using gu...
We present a novel technique for the automatic formation of vascular trees from segmented tubular structures. Our method combines a minimum spanning tree algorithm with a minimizat...

An integral element of every surgical simulator is the ability to interactively cut tissue. A number of approaches have been suggested in the past, the most important being mesh su...
The interaction of the microtubules with the cell cortex plays numerous critical roles in a cell. For instance, it directs vesicle delivery, and modulates membrane adhesions pivota...
