We are developing virtual fixtures for the internal mammary artery (IMA) harvest portion of robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft procedures. A preoperative CT scan will be p...
This paper presents a user-steered segmentation algorithm based on the livewire paradigm. Livewire is an image-feature driven method that finds the optimal path between user-selec...

We have developed an image-based human-machine interface that tracks the surgeon’s face robustly in real-time(30Hz) and does not require to use any body-contacted sensing devices...
Abstract. 3D models of coronary arteries is a valuable help for the planning and simulation of minimally-invasive cardiac surgery, and may be used in per-operative augmented realit...
