PURPOSE: Augmented reality guidance in laparoscopic liver resection requires the registration of a preoperative 3D model to the intraoperative 2D image. However, 3D-2D liver registration poses challenges owing to the liver's flexibility, particularly...
BACKGROUND: Tooth segmentation on intraoral scanned (IOS) data is a prerequisite for clinical applications in digital workflows. Current state-of-the-art methods lack the robustness to handle variability in dental conditions. This study aims to propo...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric surgeons often treat patients with complex anatomical considerations due to congenital anomalies or distortion of normal structures by solid organ tumors. There are multiple applications for three-dimensional visualization of th...
BACKGROUND: Vessel-wall volume and localized three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) metrics are sensitive to the change of carotid atherosclerosis in response to medical/dietary interventions. Manual segmentation of the media-adventitia boundary (MAB) a...

PURPOSE: Early detection of breast cancer has a significant effect on reducing its mortality rate. For this purpose, automated three-dimensional breast ultrasound (3-D ABUS) has been recently used alongside mammography. The 3-D volume produced in thi...
When conducting spine-related diagnosis and surgery, the three-dimensional (3D) upright posture of the spine under natural weight bearing is of significant clinical value for physicians to analyze the force on the spine. However, existing medical ima...
