ARport: An Augmented Reality System for Markerless Image-Guided Port Placement in Robotic Surgery
Zheng Han, Zixin Yang, Yonghao Long +3
Purpose: Precise port placement is a critical step in robot-assisted surgery, where port configuration influences both visual access to the operative field and instrument maneuvera…
Toward Patient-specific Partial Point Cloud to Surface Completion for Pre- to Intra-operative Registration in Image-guided Liver Interventions
Nakul Poudel, Zixin Yang, Kelly Merrell +2
Intra-operative data captured during image-guided surgery lacks sub-surface information, where key regions of interest, such as vessels and tumors, reside. Image-to-physical regist…
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…
Boundary Constraint-free Biomechanical Model-Based Surface Matching for Intraoperative Liver Deformation Correction
Zixin Yang, Richard Simon, Kelly Merrell +1
In image-guided liver surgery, 3D-3D non-rigid registration methods play a crucial role in estimating the mapping between the preoperative model and the intraoperative surface repr…
Evaluation of Intra-operative Patient-specific Methods for Point Cloud Completion for Minimally Invasive Liver Interventions
Nakul Poudel, Zixin Yang, Kelly Merrell +2
The registration between the pre-operative model and the intra-operative surface is crucial in image-guided liver surgery, as it facilitates the effective use of pre-operative info…
Multi-Scale Feature Fusion with Image-Driven Spatial Integration for Left Atrium Segmentation from Cardiac MRI Images
Bipasha Kundu, Zixin Yang, Richard Simon +1
Accurate segmentation of the left atrium (LA) from late gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging plays a vital role in visualizing diseased atrial structures, enabling the di…
