ZODIAC: Zero-shot Octree-based Diffusion for Anatomical Completion

Miruna-Alexandra Gafencu, Vlad Bratulescu, Yordanka Velikova +2

Recovering the full 3D spine anatomy from intraoperative ultrasound is an ill-posed inverse problem, as the complete structure must be inferred from incomplete and noisy observatio…

OSCAR: Occupancy-based Shape Completion via Acoustic Neural Implicit Representations

Magdalena Wysocki, Kadir Burak Buldu, Miruna-Alexandra Gafencu +2

Accurate 3D reconstruction of vertebral anatomy from ultrasound is important for guiding minimally invasive spine interventions, but it remains challenging due to acoustic shadowin…

Shape Completion and Real-Time Visualization in Robotic Ultrasound Spine Acquisitions

Miruna-Alexandra Gafencu, Reem Shaban, Yordanka Velikova +2

Ultrasound (US) imaging is increasingly used in spinal procedures due to its real-time, radiation-free capabilities; however, its effectiveness is hindered by shadowing artifacts t…
