Machine Learning Distinguishes Neurosurgical Skill Levels in a Virtual Reality Tumor Resection Task [PDF]
Background: Virtual reality simulators and machine learning have the potential to augment understanding, assessment and training of psychomotor performance in neurosurgery residents. Objective: This study outlines the first application of machine learning to distinguish "skilled" and "novice" psychomotor performance during a virtual reality ...

Path Planning for Concentric Tube Robots: a Toolchain with Application to Stereotactic Neurosurgery [PDF]
We present a toolchain for solving path planning problems for concentric tube robots through obstacle fields. First, ellipsoidal sets representing the target area and obstacles are constructed from labelled point clouds. Then, the nonlinear and highly nonconvex optimal control problem is solved by introducing a homotopy on the obstacle positions where ...

End-to-End assessment of AR-assisted neurosurgery systems [PDF]
Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a significant advancement in surgical procedures, offering a solution to the challenges posed by traditional neuronavigation methods. These conventional techniques often necessitate surgeons to split their focus between the surgical site and a separate monitor that displays guiding images.

Spatially Adaptive Variable Screening in Presurgical fMRI Data Analysis [PDF]
Accurate delineation of tumor-adjacent functional brain regions is essential for planning function-preserving neurosurgery. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is increasingly used for presurgical counseling and planning. When analyzing presurgical fMRI data, false negatives are more dangerous to the patients than false positives because ...
