Disruptions in Surgical Workflow: Perceptions and Implications

wORkfLOw RAdIOLOGy diagnosis Interrupted: disruptions of radiologists’ workflow

Medical imaging has taken an increasingly important role in patient diagnosis and management over the last two decades. While this trend has been a boon to patient care, it has come at the cost of considerably increased quantity and complexity of work for the radiologists who oversee and interpret medical imaging studies. As a result, radiologists find themselves shouldering growing responsibil...

Statistical modeling and recognition of surgical workflow

In this paper, we contribute to the development of context-aware operating rooms by introducing a novel approach to modeling and monitoring the workflow of surgical interventions. We first propose a new representation of interventions in terms of multidimensional time-series formed by synchronized signals acquired over time. We then introduce methods based on Dynamic Time Warping and Hidden Mar...

Eye-Gaze Driven Surgical Workflow Segmentation

In today's climate of clinical governance there is growing pressure on surgeons to demonstrate their competence, improve standards and reduce surgical errors. This paper presents a study on developing a novel eye-gaze driven technique for surgical assessment and workflow recovery. The proposed technique investigates the use of a Parallel Layer Perceptor (PLP) to automate the recognition of a ke...
