Registration of a Validated Mechanical Atlas of Middle Ear for Surgical Simulation [PDF]
, 2013 This paper is centered on the development of a new training and rehearsal simulation system for middle ear surgery. First, we have developed and validated a mechanical atlas based on finite element method of the human middle ear. The atlas is based on a microMRI. Its mechanical behavior computed in real-time has been successfully validated. In addition,

Geometric Atlas of the Middle Ear and Paranasal Sinuses for Robotic Applications [PDF]
Surgical Innovation, 2021 In otolaryngologic surgery, more and more robots are being studied to meet the clinical needs of operating rooms. However, to help design and optimize these robots, the workspace must be precisely defined taking into account patient variability. The aim of this work is to define a geometric atlas of the middle ear and paranasal sinuses for endoscopic ...
