Evaluation of Augmented Reality-based Intuitive Interface for Robot-Assisted Transesophageal Echocardiography: A User Study
Xiu Zhang*, Matteo Di Mauro*, Sofia Breschi +4
TransEsophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is essential for diagnosing and guiding Structural Heart Disease (SHD) interventions. However, manual TEE manipulation demands significant op…
Catheter Monitoring in Intelligent Endovascular Navigation Systems: Interactive Simulations and Mixed Reality for Enhanced Navigational Awareness
Veronica Ruozzi, Giovanni Battista Regazzo, Maria Chiara Palumbo +7
Purpose: Developing and testing a framework that integrates real-time catheter shape reconstruction, interactive simulations, and mixed reality visualization to enable accurate mon…
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…
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…
MitraClip Device Automated Localization in 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography via Deep Learning
Riccardo Munafò, Simone Saitta, Luca Vicentini +7
The MitraClip is the most widely percutaneous treatment for mitral regurgitation, typically performed under the real-time guidance of 3D transesophagel echocardiography (TEE). Howe…
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…
