Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from two-dimensional images is an active research field in computer vision, with applications ranging from navigation and object tracking to s…
CathAction: A Benchmark for Endovascular Intervention Understanding
Baoru Huang, Tuan Vo, Chayun Kongtongvattana +35
Real-time visual feedback from catheterization analysis is crucial for enhancing surgical safety and efficiency during endovascular interventions. However, existing datasets are of…
High-fidelity Endoscopic Image Synthesis by Utilizing Depth-guided Neural Surfaces
Baoru Huang, Yida Wang, Anh Nguyen +3
In surgical oncology, screening colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in providing diagnostic assistance, such as biopsy, and facilitating surgical navigation, particularly in polyp det…
Measuring proximity to standard planes during fetal brain ultrasound scanning
Chiara Di Vece, Antonio Cirigliano, Meala Le Lous +6
This paper presents a pipeline designed to bring ultrasound (US) plane pose estimation closer to clinical use, demonstrating the feasibility of continuous, real-time proximity feed…
Gaussian Pancakes: Geometrically-Regularized 3D Gaussian Splatting for Realistic Endoscopic Reconstruction
Sierra Bonilla, Shuai Zhang, Dimitrios Psychogyios +3
Within colorectal cancer diagnostics, conventional colonoscopy techniques face critical limitations, including a limited field of view and a lack of depth information, which can im…
Online estimation of the hand-eye transformation from surgical scenes
Krittin Pachtrachai, Francisco Vasconcelos, Danail Stoyanov
Hand-eye calibration algorithms are mature and provide accurate transformation estimations for an effective camera-robot link but rely on a sufficiently wide range of calibration d…
SurgT challenge: Benchmark of Soft-Tissue Trackers for Robotic Surgery
Joao Cartucho, Alistair Weld, Samyakh Tukra +23
This paper introduces the ``SurgT: Surgical Tracking" challenge which was organised in conjunction with MICCAI 2022. There were two purposes for the creation of this challenge: (1)…
Ultrasound Plane Pose Regression: Assessing Generalized Pose Coordinates in the Fetal Brain
Chiara Di Vece, Maela Le Lous, Brian Dromey +4
In obstetric ultrasound (US) scanning, the learner's ability to mentally build a three-dimensional (3D) map of the fetus from a two-dimensional (2D) US image represents a significa…
Retrieval of surgical phase transitions using reinforcement learning
Yitong Zhang, Sophia Bano, Ann-Sophie Page +3
In minimally invasive surgery, surgical workflow segmentation from video analysis is a well studied topic. The conventional approach defines it as a multi-class classification prob…
Learning-Based Keypoint Registration for Fetoscopic Mosaicking
Alessandro Casella, Sophia Bano, Francisco Vasconcelos +7
In Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), abnormal vascular anastomoses in the monochorionic placenta can produce uneven blood flow between the two fetuses. In the current pract…
Placental Vessel Segmentation and Registration in Fetoscopy: Literature Review and MICCAI FetReg2021 Challenge Findings
Sophia Bano, Alessandro Casella, Francisco Vasconcelos +28
Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely adopted procedure for treating Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). The procedure involves photocoagulation pathological anastomos…
AutoFB: Automating Fetal Biometry Estimation from Standard Ultrasound Planes
Sophia Bano, Brian Dromey, Francisco Vasconcelos +4
During pregnancy, ultrasound examination in the second trimester can assess fetal size according to standardized charts. To achieve a reproducible and accurate measurement, a sonog…
