Feasibility of Augmented Reality-Guided Robotic Ultrasound with Cone-Beam CT Integration for Spine Procedures
Tianyu Song, Felix Pabst, Feng Li +5
Accurate needle placement in spine interventions is critical for effective pain management, yet it depends on reliable identification of anatomical landmarks and careful trajectory…
Comparative Study of Ultrasound Shape Completion and CBCT-Based AR Workflows for Spinal Needle Interventions
Tianyu Song, Feng Li, Felix Pabst +4
Purpose: This study compares two augmented reality (AR)-guided imaging workflows, one based on ultrasound shape completion and the other on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), fo…
Sonify Anything: Towards Context-Aware Sonic Interactions in AR
Laura Schütz, Sasan Matinfar, Ulrich Eck +2
In Augmented Reality (AR), virtual objects interact with real objects. However, the lack of physicality of virtual objects leads to the absence of natural sonic interactions. When…
Intelligent Virtual Sonographer (IVS): Enhancing Physician-Robot-Patient Communication
Tianyu Song, Feng Li, Yuan Bi +6
The advancement and maturity of large language models (LLMs) and robotics have unlocked vast potential for human-computer interaction, particularly in the field of robotic ultrasou…
MM-OR: A Large Multimodal Operating Room Dataset for Semantic Understanding of High-Intensity Surgical Environments
Ege Ãzsoy, Chantal Pellegrini, Tobias Czempiel +7
Operating rooms (ORs) are complex, high-stakes environments requiring precise understanding of interactions among medical staff, tools, and equipment for enhancing surgical assista…
Enhancing Patient Acceptance of Robotic Ultrasound through Conversational Virtual Agent and Immersive Visualizations
Tianyu Song, Felix Pabst, Ulrich Eck +1
Robotic ultrasound systems can enhance medical diagnostics, but patient acceptance is a challenge. We propose a system combining an AI-powered conversational virtual agent with thr…
