In order to use pre-operative images during an operation for navigation, they must be registered to the patient's coordinate system in the operating theater or to an intra-ope...
There are many roles for electromechanical devices in image guided surgery. One is to help a surgeon accurately follow a preoperative plan. Devices for this purpose may be localiz...

Abstract. We have developped a physically-based model where an object is represented by a set of mass points on its contour. Each object may be defined locally and physically usin...
In this paper we address the problem of extracting geometric models from low contrast volumetric images, given a template or reference shape of that model. We proceed by deforming...
The Neurovisualization Lab at the University of Virginia is developing the Integrated Remote Neurosurgical System (IRNS) to allow mentoring of neurosurgical procedures in remote l...
