Touchless Intraoperative Image Access System Based on Vision-Based Hand Tracking
Yin Lin, Domenico Aquino, Alberto Redaelli +3
Touchless interaction with medical images is becoming increasingly important in the surgical field, where sterility and continuity of the operational workflow are essential require…
Data-driven generation of 4D velocity profiles in the aneurysmal ascending aorta
Simone Saitta, Ludovica Maga, Chloe Armour +8
Numerical simulations of blood flow are a valuable tool to investigate the pathophysiology of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA). To accurately reproduce hemodynamics, comp…
Physics-driven Sonification for Improving Multisensory Needle Guidance in Percutaneous Epicardial Access
Veronica Ruozzi, Sasan Matinfar, Pasquale Vergara +7
Percutaneous epicardial access (PEA), performed on a beating heart under fluoroscopy, enables arrhythmia treatment. However, advancing a needle toward the thin and moving pericardi…
Simulation of left ventricle fluid dynamics with mitral regurgitation from magnetic resonance images with fictitious elastic structure regularization
Toni Lassila, Cristiano Malossi, Marco Stevanella +3
Computer modeling can provide quantitative insight into cardiac fluid dynamics phenomena that are not evident from standard imaging tools. We propose a new approach to modeling lef…
BioSonix: Can Physics-Based Sonification Perceptualize Tissue Deformations From Tool Interactions?
Veronica Ruozzi, Sasan Matinfar, Laura Schütz +4
Perceptualizing tool interactions with deformable structures in surgical procedures remains challenging, as unimodal visualization techniques often fail to capture the complexity o…
Deep vectorised operators for pulsatile hemodynamics estimation in coronary arteries from a steady-state prior
Julian Suk, Guido Nannini, Patryk Rygiel +4
Cardiovascular hemodynamic fields provide valuable medical decision markers for coronary artery disease. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the gold standard for accurate, non-i…
An automated and time efficient framework for simulation of coronary blood flow under steady and pulsatile conditions
Guido Nannini, Simone Saitta, Luca Mariani +5
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). FFRCT uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate FFR non-invasively by sim…
A CT-based deep learning system for automatic assessment of aortic root morphology for TAVI planning
Simone Saitta, Francesco Sturla, Riccardo Gorla +4
Accurate planning of transcatheter aortic implantation (TAVI) is important to minimize complications, and it requires anatomic evaluation of the aortic root (AR), commonly done thr…
Radiomics- and Clinical Feature-Driven Prediction of Volumetric Response in Skull-Base Meningioma after CyberKnife Radiosurgery
Yin Lin, Elena De Martin, Giacomo Conte +6
Skull-base meningiomas are often characterized by favorable long-term prognosis, yet their anatomical complexity and proximity to critical neurovascular structures make treatment s…
Learning Hemodynamic Scalar Fields on Coronary Artery Meshes: A Benchmark of Geometric Deep Learning Models
Guido Nannini, Julian Suk, Patryk Rygiel +7
Coronary artery disease, caused by the narrowing of coronary vessels due to atherosclerosis, is the leading cause of death worldwide. The diagnostic gold standard, fractional flow…
A Deep Learning-Based Fully Automated Pipeline for Regurgitant Mitral Valve Anatomy Analysis From 3D Echocardiography
Riccardo Munafò, Simone Saitta, Giacomo Ingallina +5
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) is the recommended imaging technique for the assessment of mitral valve (MV) morphology and lesions in case of mitral reg…
Glioblastoma Overall Survival Prediction With Vision Transformers
Yin Lin, Riccardo Barbieri, Domenico Aquino +5
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and common brain tumors, with a median survival of 10-15 months. Predicting Overall Survival (OS) is critical for personalizing treatment…
