Right ventricular (RV) volume and function evaluation is essential in the follow-up of patients after arterial switch operation (ASO) for dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging using the Simpson's...
BACKGROUND: The mandibular bone is an important part of the forensic facial reconstruction and it has the possibility of getting lost in skeletonized remains; for this reason, it is necessary to facilitate the identification process simulating the ma...

This paper presents a retinal vessel segmentation algorithm which uses a texton dictionary to classify vessel/non-vessel pixels. However, in contrast to previous work where filter parameters are learnt from manually labelled image pixels our filter p...
To provide an overview of the anatomical landmarks needed to guide a retropubic (Retzius)-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), and a step-by-step description of the surgical technique that maximizes preservation of the periprosta...
The role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the skull base emerges and represents the natural progression toward miniinvasive resections in confined spaces. The accessibility of the sella via TORS has been recently described on fresh human cadave...

PURPOSE: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is now an established component for 3D evaluation and treatment planning of patients with severe malocclusion and craniofacial deformities. Precision landmark plotting on 3D images for cephalometric analy...
OBJECTIVE: Condylar remodeling is a key prognostic indicator in maxillofacial surgery for skeletal class II patients. This study aimed to develop and validate a fully automated method leveraging landmark-guided segmentation and registration for effic...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a fully automatic anatomical landmark localization and trajectory planning method for external ventricular drain (EVD) placement using CT or MRI.
