The effectiveness and clinical benefits of image guided surgery are
well established for procedures where there is manageable tissue motion. In
minimally invasive cardiac, gastro...
Navigation during Minimally Invasive Surgery
(MIS) has recognized difficulties due to limited field-of-view,
off-axis visualization and loss of direct 3D vision. This can cause
...
The use of vision based algorithms in minimally invasive surgery has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its potential in providing in situ 3D tissue deformation...
