SurgStreamer: proactive, request-driven monitoring of surgical video streams with structured state and a reusable reasoning layer

Bowen Xiang, Jon S. Heiselman, Michael I. Miga

Surgical teams could benefit from assistants that watch the video for requested events, such as "tell me when the clip applier appears during Calot triangle dissection", and answer…

Marker-free deformable registration and fusion for augmented reality-guided positive margin localization during tumor resection surgery

Yue Yang, Annie Benson, Matthieu Chabanas +7

Positive margins in head and neck oncologic surgery require mapping specimen-side pathology findings to the patient resection bed. This is challenging because pathologists identify…

Contour-Constrained Deformable Registration with Parameter Characterization for Head and Neck Surgical Guidance

Qingyun Yang, Jon S. Heiselman, Ayberk Acar +5

With 890,000 annual new cases globally, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has one of the highest recurrence rates among solid malignancies. Although frozen section analysis is…

MeiBRD: Meta-Learning Intraoperative Biomechanical Residual Deformation

Casey Meisenzahl, Jon Heiselman, Michael Holtz +3

Accurate intraoperative liver registration is challenging due to substantial soft-tissue deformation yet sparse intraoperative measurements. Biomechanical models regularize this il…

SurgFormer: Scalable Learning of Organ Deformation with Resection Support and Real-Time Inference

Ashkan Shahbazi, Elaheh Akbari, Kyvia Pereira +7

We introduce SurgFormer, a multiresolution gated transformer for data driven soft tissue simulation on volumetric meshes. High fidelity biomechanical solvers are often too costly f…

Neural-Augmented Kelvinlet for Real-Time Soft Tissue Deformation Modeling

Ashkan Shahbazi, Kyvia Pereira, Jon S. Heiselman +9

Accurate and efficient modeling of soft-tissue interactions is fundamental for advancing surgical simulation, surgical robotics, and model-based surgical automation. To achieve rea…

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…

Resolving the Ambiguity of Complete-to-Partial Point Cloud Registration for Image-Guided Liver Surgery with Patches-to-Partial Matching

Zixin Yang, Jon S. Heiselman, Cheng Han +3

In image-guided liver surgery, the initial rigid alignment between preoperative and intraoperative data, often represented as point clouds, is crucial for providing sub-surface inf…

LIBR+: Improving Intraoperative Liver Registration by Learning the Residual of Biomechanics-Based Deformable Registration

Dingrong Wang, Soheil Azadvar, Jon Heiselman +3

The surgical environment imposes unique challenges to the intraoperative registration of organ shapes to their preoperatively-imaged geometry. Biomechanical model-based registratio…

Patient-specific computational forecasting of prostate cancer growth during active surveillance using an imaging-informed biomechanistic model

Guillermo Lorenzo, Jon S. Heiselman, Michael A. Liss +5

Active surveillance (AS) is a suitable management option for newly-diagnosed prostate cancer (PCa), which usually presents low to intermediate clinical risk. Patients enrolled in A…

Comparing Regularized Kelvinlet Functions and the Finite Element Method for Registration of Medical Images to Sparse Organ Data

Morgan Ringel, Jon Heiselman, Winona Richey +3

Image-guided surgery collocates patient-specific data with the physical environment to facilitate surgical decision making in real-time. Unfortunately, these guidance systems commo…
