Regional cortical volumes and congenital heart disease: a MRI study in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Maude Schneider, Marie Schaer

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who survive surgery often present impaired neurodevelopment and qualitative brain anomalies. However, the impact of CHD on total or regional brain volumes only received little attention. We address this question ...

Toward the Development of a Hand-Held Surgical Robot for Laparoscopy

Jamie Paik

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), which typically involves endoscopic camera and laparoscopic instruments may seem to be the ideal surgical procedure for its apparent benefits. However, in comparison to open surgeries, the spatial and mechanical tool limit ...

Influence of force and torque feedback on operator performance in a VR-based suturing task

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Laura Santos Carreras, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira, Ali Sengül

The introduction of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has revolutionised surgical care, considerably improving the quality of many surgical procedures. Technological advances, particularly in robotic surgery systems, have reduced the complexity of such an a ...

Design and Psychophysical Evaluation of a Tactile Pulse Display for Teleoperated Artery Palpation

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Philippe Rétornaz, Laura Santos Carreras, Kaspar Leuenberger

During traditional open procedures, surgeons directly palpate tissues before dissecting them. In this way, they can avoid the accidental damage of hidden arteries that can lead to fatal hemorrhage. New Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) techniques progressi ...

See the Brain at Work—Intraoperative Laser Doppler Functional Brain Imaging

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Rainer Leitgeb, Antonio Lopez, Erica Martin-Williams

During open brain surgery we acquire perfusion images non-invasively using laser Doppler imaging. The regions of brain activity show a distinct signal in response to stimulation providing intraoperative functional brain maps of remarkably strong contrast. ...

Design and validation of a telemetrically drived implantable glaucoma drainage device

Adan Villamarin

Glaucoma is one of the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world and it usually occurs when the pressure inside the eyes gradually rises, permanently damaging the optic nerve. Medications and filtering surgery are two possible therapies availabl ...

Hill-Climbing Attack to an Eigenface-Based Face Verification System

Sébastien Marcel

We use a general hill-climbing attack algorithm based on Bayesian adaption to test the vulnerability of an Eigenface-based approach for face recognition against indirect attacks. The attacking technique uses the scores provided by the matcher to adapt a gl ...

Modélisation mécanique de fils pour la simulation chirurgicale

Lindo Robert Duratti

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...

Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables. Reproducible Laser Tissue Soldering

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink

During the last 40 years a focus in research was put on sutureless tissue fusion, to handle the limits of conventional suturing such as vascular wall damage due to the enetrating needle, intraluminal foreign body reactions caused by non-absorbable suture m ...

A Framework for Intraoperative Update of 3D Deformable Models in Liver Surgery

Charles Baur, Benoît Dagon

Efficient computer assisted surgery dealing with soft tissues remains a complex task. In most cases, the preoperative information such as 3D organ reconstructions and the planning built upon are no longer valid during the surgical process itself due to the ...
