Medical imaging introduced the greatest paradigm change in the history of modern medicine, and particularly ultrasound (US) is becoming the most widespread imaging modality. The integration of digital imaging into the surgical domain opens new frontiers in diagnostics and intervention, and the combination of robotics leads to improved accuracy and targeting capabilities. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art...
State-of-the-art neurosurgery intervention relies heavily on tissue imaging information taken at a pre-operative stage. The data retrieved prior to performing an opening in the patient's skull, however, may present inconsistencies with respect to the tissue position observed by the surgeon during intervention, due to both the pulsing activity of the brain and possible displacements caused by movement...
Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) in combination with ultrasound and/or X-ray imaging offers an excellent roadmap for intraoperative surgical guidance for complete excision of the true extent of disease in early stage breast cancer. However, incorporation of image-guidance in the operating room is challenging due to patient positioning, precise targeting under tissue deformation,...
Breast biopsy guided by imaging techniques such as ultrasound is widely used to evaluate suspicious masses within the breast. During percutaneous needle biopsy, large tissue deformation will likely displace the tumor from its original position necessitating multiple insertions, causing surgeonspsila fatigue, patientpsilas discomfort, and compromising integrity of the tissue specimen. Tumor mobility...
This article, primarily concerned with robotics and mechatronics, concentrates on the surgical action (surgical CAM), although for the sake of completeness, major issues in surgical planning (surgical CAD) and postoperative data analysis (surgical TQM) are also included.
