Abstract. A system for interactive, 3–D, craniofacial surgery simulation is presented. It is used for the 3–D simulation of osteotomies of the facial and skull bones and for th...
This paper reports the development of a robotic system designed to extend a human’s ability to perform small-scale (sub-millimeter) manipulation tasks requiring human judgement, ...

While intensity-based similarity measures are increasingly used for medical image registration, they often rely on implicit assumptions regarding the physics of imaging. The motiva...
We present a new metaphor for learning anatomy - the 3d puzzle. With this metaphor students learn anatomic relations by assembling a geometric model themselves. For this purpose, a...
The “Demons Algorithm” in increasingly used for non-rigid registration of 3D medical images. However, if it is fast and usually accurate, the algorithm is based on intuitive id...
The quantitative estimation of regional cardiac deformation from 3D image sequences has important clinical implications for the assessment of viability in the heart wall. Such esti...
