Augmented reality (AR) and robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) are both rapidly evolving
technologies in recent years. RAS systems, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, aim to …

During the minimally-invasive liver surgery, only the partial surface view of the liver is
usually provided to the surgeon via the laparoscopic camera. Therefore, it is necessary to …

Background Image registration lies in the core of augmented reality (AR), which aligns the
virtual scene with the reality. In AR surgical navigation, the performance of image …

This paper presents a method for real-time augmented reality of internal liver structures
during minimally invasive hepatic surgery. Vessels and tumors computed from pre-operative …

Purpose Video see-through augmented reality (VST-AR) navigation for laparoscopic partial
nephrectomy (LPN) can enhance intraoperative perception of surgeons by visualizing …

Objective: Since Augmented Reality (AR) and 3D visualization have proven to be of great
significance to the safety and effectiveness of surgical outcomes, will autostereoscopic 3D …

Thermal ablation is an exciting new minimally invasive treatment that destroys liver tumors
without removing them. It uses image guidance to place a needle through the skin into a …

Purpose Despite great advances in medical image segmentation, the accurate and
automatic segmentation of endoscopic scenes remains a challenging problem. Two …

Augmented reality (AR) has received increasing attention in minimally invasive surgery
(MIS) applications. The goal of applying AR techniques to MIS is to enhance a surgeon's …

In image-guided robotic surgery, segmenting the endoscopic video stream into meaningful
parts provides important contextual information that surgeons can exploit to enhance their …
