Background Mentorship in the surgical field has been increasingly recognized as a crucial
component of career success. Distance mentorship models may be utilized to overcome …

Endoscopic procedures form part of routine clinical practice for minimally invasive
examinations and interventions. While they are beneficial for the patient, reducing surgical …

We propose an endoscopic image mosaicking algorithm that is robust to light conditioning
changes, specular reflections, and feature-less scenes. These conditions are especially …

With recent advances in biophotonics, techniques such as narrow band imaging, confocal
laser endomicroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and optical coherence tomography, can …

The ability to extend the field of view of laparoscopy images can help the surgeons to obtain
a better understanding of the anatomical context. However, due to tissue deformation …

Laser photocoagulation is currently the standard treatment for sight-threatening diseases
worldwide, namely diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The slit lamp …

Purpose Sustained delivery of regenerative retinal therapies by robotic systems requires
intra-operative tracking of the retinal fundus. We propose a supervised deep convolutional …

Purpose To this day, the slit lamp remains the first tool used by an ophthalmologist to
examine patient eyes. Imaging of the retina poses, however, a variety of problems, namely a …

Inspection of the urinary bladder with an endoscope (cystoscope) is the usual procedure for
early detection of bladder cancer. The very limited field of view provided by the endoscope …

Background This study presents a tracker‐less image‐mapping framework for surgical
navigation motivated by the clinical need for intuitive visual guidance during minimally …
