HYPOTHESIS: A multielectrode probe in combination with an optimized stimulation protocol could provide sufficient sensitivity and specificity to act as an effective safety mechanism for preservation of the facial nerve in case of an unsafe drill dist...
Over the past 30 years, the application of robotics in the field of neurotology has grown. Robots are able to perform increasingly complex tasks with ever improving accuracy, allowing them to be used in a broad array of applications. A mastoidectomy,...

A simple mastoidectomy is used to remove inflammation of the mastoid cavity and to create a route to the skull base and middle ear. However, due to the complexity and difficulty of the simple mastoidectomy, implementing robot vision for assisted surg...
As many human organs exist in pairs or have symmetric appearance and loss of symmetry may indicate pathology, symmetry evaluation on medical images is very important and has been routinely performed in diagnosis of diseases and pretreatment evaluatio...
