Fluoroscopy-based navigation system in spine surgery [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H,
Journal of Engineering in Medicine 221, 7 (2007) 813-20, 2007 The variability in width, height, and spatial orientation of a spinal pedicle makes pedicle screw insertion a delicate operation. The aim of the current paper is to describe a computer-assisted surgical navigation system based on fluoroscopic X-ray image calibration and three-dimensional optical localizers in order to reduce radiation exposure while ...

Multimodal Semantic Scene Graphs for Holistic Modeling of Surgical Procedures [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 From a computer science viewpoint, a surgical domain model needs to be a conceptual one incorporating both behavior and data. It should therefore model actors, devices, tools, their complex interactions and data flow. To capture and model these, we take advantage of the latest computer vision methodologies for generating 3D scene graphs from camera ...
