PURPOSE: Surgical workflow recognition and context-aware systems could allow better decision making and surgical planning by providing the focused information, which may eventually enhance surgical outcomes. While current developments in computer-ass...
Knowledge about the thickness of the cortical bone is of high interest for fracture risk assessment. Most finite element model solutions overlook this information because of the coarse resolution of the CT images. To circumvent this limitation, a thr...
Surgical tool detection is attracting increasing attention from the medical image analysis community. The goal generally is not to precisely locate tools in images, but rather to indicate which tools are being used by the surgeon at each instant. The...
Human functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data are acquired while participants engage in diverse perceptual, motor, cognitive, and emotional tasks. Although data are acquired temporally, they are most often treated in a quasi-static manner. ...
