Ultrasound-induced cavitation renders prostate cancer cells susceptible to hyperthermia: Analysis of potential cellular and molecular mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Background: Focused ultrasound (FUS) has become an important non-invasive therapy for prostate tumor ablation via thermal effects in the clinic. The cavitation effect induced by FUS is applied for histotripsy, support drug delivery, and the induction of ...

Comparison of image registration methods for combining laparoscopic video and spectral image data

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Laparoscopic procedures can be assisted by intraoperative modalities, such as quantitative perfusion imaging based on fluorescence or hyperspectral data. If these modalities are not available at video frame rate, fast image registration is needed for the

Computer assisted orthognathic surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This paper presents a surgical simulator for orthognathic surgery based on the integration of dental models and 3D cephalometry. The objective of dental models integration is to make coherent informations gathered from different sources (occlusal analysis and CT scan), and for that purpose, a system using a 3D optical localizer is used.
