Abstract. Stereotactic techniques are prevalent in neurosurgery. A fundamental assumption of stereotaxis is that the brain is a rigid body. It has been demonstrated, however, that ...
The most attractive feature of 2D B-mode ultrasound for intra-operative use is that it is both a real time and a highly interactive modality. Most 3D freehand reconstruction method...
In this paper we present a method for simulating bleeding in a virtual reality hysteroscopic simulator for surgical training. The simulated bleeding is required to be visually app...
