Open-H-Embodiment: A Large-Scale Dataset for Enabling Foundation Models in Medical Robotics
Open-H-Embodiment Consortium, :, Nigel Nelson +213
Autonomous medical robots hold promise to improve patient outcomes, reduce provider workload, democratize access to care, and enable superhuman precision. However, autonomous medic…
A Multi-View Pipeline and Benchmark Dataset for 3D Hand Pose Estimation in Surgery
Valery Fischer, Alan Magdaleno, Anna-Katharina Calek +8
Purpose: Accurate 3D hand pose estimation supports surgical applications such as skill assessment, robot-assisted interventions, and geometry-aware workflow analysis. However, surg…
NeuralBoneReg: An Instance-Specific Label-Free Point Cloud-Based Method for Multi-Modal Bone Surface Registration
Luohong Wu, Matthias Seibold, Nicola A. Cavalcanti +5
In computer- and robot-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS), patient-specific surgical plans derived from preoperative imaging define target locations and implant trajectories. Durin…
Localising under the drape: proprioception in the era of distributed surgical robotic system
Martin Huber, Nicola A. Cavalcanti, Ayoob Davoodi +15
Despite their mechanical sophistication, surgical robots remain blind to their surroundings. This lack of spatial awareness causes collisions, system recoveries, and workflow disru…
Automatic Multi-View X-Ray/CT Registration Using Bone Substructure Contours
Roman Flepp, Leon Nissen, Bastian Sigrist +5
Purpose: Accurate intraoperative X-ray/CT registration is essential for surgical navigation in orthopedic procedures. However, existing methods struggle with consistently achieving…
UltraBoneUDF: Self-supervised Bone Surface Reconstruction from Ultrasound Based on Neural Unsigned Distance Functions
Luohong Wu, Matthias Seibold, Nicola A. Cavalcanti +7
Bone surface reconstruction is an essential component of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery(CAOS), forming the foundation for both preoperative planning and intraoperative guidan…
UltraBones100k: A reliable automated labeling method and large-scale dataset for ultrasound-based bone surface extraction
Luohong Wu, Nicola A. Cavalcanti, Matthias Seibold +8
Ultrasound-based bone surface segmentation is crucial in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery. However, ultrasound images have limitations, including a low signal-to-noise ratio, a…
Acquiring Submillimeter-Accurate Multi-Task Vision Datasets for Computer-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery
Emma Most, Jonas Hein, Frédéric Giraud +7
Advances in computer vision, particularly in optical image-based 3D reconstruction and feature matching, enable applications like marker-less surgical navigation and digitization o…
Creating a Digital Twin of Spinal Surgery: A Proof of Concept
Jonas Hein, Frédéric Giraud, Lilian Calvet +8
Surgery digitalization is the process of creating a virtual replica of real-world surgery, also referred to as a surgical digital twin (SDT). It has significant applications in var…
Domain adaptation strategies for 3D reconstruction of the lumbar spine using real fluoroscopy data
Sascha Jecklin, Youyang Shen, Amandine Gout +8
This study tackles key obstacles in adopting surgical navigation in orthopedic surgeries, including time, cost, radiation, and workflow integration challenges. Recently, our work X…
Automatic registration with continuous pose updates for marker-less surgical navigation in spine surgery
Florentin Liebmann, Marco von Atzigen, Dominik Stütz +10
Established surgical navigation systems for pedicle screw placement have been proven to be accurate, but still reveal limitations in registration or surgical guidance. Registration…
Synthetic white balancing for intra-operative hyperspectral imaging
Anisha Bahl, Conor C. Horgan, Mirek Janatka +10
Hyperspectral imaging shows promise for surgical applications to non-invasively provide spatially-resolved, spectral information. For calibration purposes, a white reference image…
Next-generation Surgical Navigation: Marker-less Multi-view 6DoF Pose Estimation of Surgical Instruments
Jonas Hein, Nicola Cavalcanti, Daniel Suter +7
State-of-the-art research of traditional computer vision is increasingly leveraged in the surgical domain. A particular focus in computer-assisted surgery is to replace marker-base…
Automatic breach detection during spine pedicle drilling based on vibroacoustic sensing
Aidana Massalimova, Maikel Timmermans, Nicola Cavalcanti +8
Pedicle drilling is a complex and critical spinal surgery task. Detecting breach or penetration of the surgical tool to the cortical wall during pilot-hole drilling is essential to…
