PURPOSE: Computer assistance for endoscopic surgery depends on knowledge about the contents in an endoscopic scene. An important step of analysing the video contents is real-time surgical tool detection. Most methods for tool detection nevertheless d...
BACKGROUND: Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is crucial for long term health and reduced economic burden. For those considered for surgery, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a method to characterize location and pattern of sleep-related uppe...
BACKGROUND: Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are a rare subtype of benign primary cardiac tumours, which are most commonly found on the aortic valve. Although median sternotomy is still used frequently there has been different attempts to remove the a...
Intraoperative guidance tools for thyroid surgery based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) could aid distinguish between normal and diseased tissue. However, OCT images are difficult to interpret, thus, real-time automatic analysis could support t...
