Surgical simulation is a promising technology for training medical students and planning procedures. One major requirement for these simulation systems is a method to generate real...
In image-guided neurosurgery, "mixed reality" merging has been used to merge video images with an underlying computer model. We have developed methods to map intra-operat...

We describe a new magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis tool that produces cortical surface representations with spherical topology from MR images of the human brain. The tool pr...
A magnetic resonance (MR) compatible surgical assist robot system under preclinical evaluation is described. It is designed to coexist, and cooperate, with a surgeon, and to positi...
