RAUL: Reference-Assisted Ureteroscopy Localization for Skill Assessment
Fangjie Li, Mai Bui, Charan Mohan +4
Objective: Incomplete navigation of anatomy during ureteroscopic kidney stone surgeries can contribute to repeat interventions. While skilled surgeons have lower reintervention rat…
Automated Assessment of Kidney Ureteroscopy Exploration for Training
Fangjie Li, Nicholas Kavoussi, Charan Mohan +2
Purpose: Kidney ureteroscopic navigation is challenging with a steep learning curve. However, current clinical training has major deficiencies, as it requires one-on-one feedback f…
PERSEUS: Perception with Semantic Endoscopic Understanding and SLAM
Ayberk Acar, Fangjie Li, Susheela Sharma Stern +9
Purpose: Natural orifice surgeries minimize the need for incisions and reduce the recovery time compared to open surgery; however, they require a higher level of expertise due to v…
From Monocular Vision to Autonomous Action: Guiding Tumor Resection via 3D Reconstruction
Ayberk Acar, Mariana Smith, Lidia Al-Zogbi +14
Surgical automation requires precise guidance and understanding of the scene. Current methods in the literature rely on bulky depth cameras to create maps of the anatomy, however t…
Augmented Reality-based Guidance with Deformable Registration in Head and Neck Tumor Resection
Qingyun Yang, Fangjie Li, Jiayi Xu +8
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has one of the highest rates of recurrence cases among solid malignancies. Recurrence rates can be reduced by improving positive margi…
