Planning for Image-Guided Radiosurgery
In radiosurgery a moving beam of radiation is used as an ablative surgical instrument to destroy brain tu. roots. Classical radiosurgical systems rely on rigid skeletal fixation of the anatomic region to be treated. This fixation procedure is very pain]ui for the patient and limits radiosurgical procedures to brain lesions. Furthermore, due to the necessity of rigid fixation, radiosurgical trea...
متن کاملA multimodal image guiding system for Navigated Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS): A human feasibility study
BACKGROUND Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the endoscopic method of choice for confirming lung cancer metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes. Precision is crucial for correct staging and clinical decision-making. Navigation and multimodal imaging can potentially improve EBUS-TBNA efficiency. AIMS To demonstrate the feasibility of a multimodal image guid...
متن کاملOptimal Route Planning under Uncertainty
We present new complexity results and efficient algorithms for optimal route planning in the presence of uncertainty. We employ a decision theoretic framework for defining the optimal route: for a given source S and destination T in the graph, we seek an ST -path of lowest expected cost where the edge travel times are random variables and the cost is a nonlinear function of total travel time. A...
متن کامل3D CT-Video Fusion for Image-Guided Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopic biopsy of the central-chest lymph nodes is an important step for lung-cancer staging. Before bronchoscopy, the physician first visually assesses a patient's three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) chest scan to identify suspect lymph-node sites. Next, during bronchoscopy, the physician guides the bronchoscope to each desired lymph-node site. Unfortunately, the physician ha...
متن کاملComputer Guided Implantology: For Optimal Implant Planning
Recently, dental implants have considerably contributed towards the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. It has become a predictable way of tooth replacement. In order to improve treatment outcomes, extensive research aroused from Branemark protocol where he described the original two-stage surgical protocol. Currently, the concept of prosthetic driven Implantology is gaining attent...
