Standardisation of Convex Ultrasound Data Through Geometric Analysis and Augmentation
Alistair Weld, Giovanni Faoro, Luke Dixon +3
The application of ultrasound in healthcare has seen increased diversity and importance. Unlike other medical imaging modalities, ultrasound research and development has historical…
Confidence-Based Annotation Of Brain Tumours In Ultrasound
Alistair Weld, Luke Dixon, Alfie Roddan +3
Purpose: An investigation of the challenge of annotating discrete segmentations of brain tumours in ultrasound, with a focus on the issue of aleatoric uncertainty along the tumour…
SurgRIPE challenge: Benchmark of Surgical Robot Instrument Pose Estimation
Haozheng Xu, Alistair Weld, Chi Xu +16
Accurate instrument pose estimation is a crucial step towards the future of robotic surgery, enabling applications such as autonomous surgical task execution. Vision-based methods…
Towards Safe and Collaborative Robotic Ultrasound Tissue Scanning in Neurosurgery
Michael Dyck, Alistair Weld, Julian Klodmann +6
Intraoperative ultrasound imaging is used to facilitate safe brain tumour resection. However, due to challenges with image interpretation and the physical scanning, this tool has y…
Identifying visible tissue in intraoperative ultrasound: a method and application
Alistair Weld, Luke Dixon, Giulio Anichini +4
Purpose: Intraoperative ultrasound scanning is a demanding visuotactile task. It requires operators to simultaneously localise the ultrasound perspective and manually perform sligh…
Automated robotic intraoperative ultrasound for brain surgery
Michael Dyck, Alistair Weld, Julian Klodmann +6
During brain tumour resection, localising cancerous tissue and delineating healthy and pathological borders is challenging, even for experienced neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists…
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)…
Collaborative Robotic Ultrasound Tissue Scanning for Surgical Resection Guidance in Neurosurgery
Alistair Weld, Michael Dyck, Julian Klodmann +5
The aim of this paper is to introduce a robotic platform for autonomous iUS tissue scanning to optimise intraoperative diagnosis and improve surgical resection during robot-assiste…
Regularising disparity estimation via multi task learning with structured light reconstruction
Alistair Weld, Joao Cartucho, Chi Xu +2
3D reconstruction is a useful tool for surgical planning and guidance. However, the lack of available medical data stunts research and development in this field, as supervised deep…
