A fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...
متن کاملEndoscopy-MR Image Fusion for Image Guided Procedures
Minimally invasive endoscope based abdominal procedures provide potential advantages over conventional open surgery such as reduced trauma, shorter hospital stay, and quick recovery. One major limitation of using this technique is the narrow view of the endoscope and the lack of proper 3D context of the surgical site. In this paper, we propose a rapid and accurate method to align intraoperative...
متن کاملA Modular Surgical Robotic System for Image Guided Percutaneous Procedures
This paper presents a robotic system for precise needle insertion under radiological guidance for surgical interventions and for delivery of therapy. It is extremely compact and is compatible with portable X-ray units and computer tomography scanners. The system presents a modular structure comprising a global positioning module, a miniature robotic module, and a radiolucent needle driver modul...
متن کاملMeso-scale Flight and Miniature Rotorcraft Development
This paper summarizes the initial development of a very small-scale rotorcraft that flies on its own power and carries sensors for atmospheric research or planetary exploration. Initial devices are electrically powered, ranging in size from 2 to 15 cm, and have involved challenges in aerodynamics, control, and manufacturing. Many interesting scaling issues arise as one shrinks a flight vehicle ...
متن کاملModels of Surgical Procedures for Multimodal Image-Guided Neurosurgery
Improvement of image guided surgery systems requires a better anticipation of the surgical procedure. This anticipation may be provided by a better understanding of surgical procedures and/or the use of information models related to neurosurgical procedures. We are introducing a generic model of surgical procedures in the context of multimodal image-guided craniotomies. The basic principle of t...
