Purpose: To introduce a digitally assisted technique to achieve the ideal soft and bone tissue interface for anatomic-driven pink free implant supported fixed prosthesis, and prefabricate an interim prosthesis to be used the day of the... more
OBJECTIVE: To assess clinical and radiological performance of novel digital workflow integrating dynamic guided surgery, to streamline execution of implant placement, soft and bone tissue sculpturing, and immediate delivery of navigation... more
This work presents first in-vivo results of beating heart tracking with a surgical robot arm in off-pump cardiac surgery. The tracking is performed in a 2D visual servoing scheme using a 500 frame per second video camera. Heart motion is... more
Image-guided surgery is the logical extension of imaging as it integrates previously acquired radiological or nuclear medicine images with the operative field. In conventional image-guided surgery, a surgeon uses a surgical instrument or... more
Voxel-based 2D/3D registration enables the use of preoperative 3D CT scans during X-ray fluoroscopy guided interventions for navigation purposes. Both a high accuracy and a short computation time are crucial. The method used in this... more
Long computation times of non-linear (i.e. accounting for geometric and material non-linearity) biomechanical models have been regarded as one of the key factors preventing application of such models in predicting organ deformation for... more
Statement of problem. Despite the broad clinical application of zirconia for fixed implant-supported prostheses, evidence of long-term performance is sparse. Purpose. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term... more
This paper presents a fully actuated robotic system for percutaneous prostate therapy under continuously acquired live magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance. The system is composed of modular hardware and software to support the... more
method for both calibration and registration of an endoscope
When operating a machine, the operator needs to know some spatial relations, like the relative location of the target or the nearest obstacle. Often, sensors are used to derive this spatial information, and visual displays are deployed as... more
Recent technological advances in surgery have resulted in the development of a range of new techniques that have reduced patient trauma, shortened hospitalization, and improved diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcome. Despite the many... more
This paper presents an overview of the image-guided surgery toolkit (IGSTK). IGSTK is an open source C++ software library that provides the basic components needed to develop image-guided surgery applications. It is intended for fast... more
Objective A novel 3-D/2-D registration method based on matching 3-D pre-interventional image gradients and coarsely reconstructed 3-D gradients from intra-interventional 2-D images is presented. Material and methods The novel method... more
To evaluate the influence of implant scanbody (ISB) material, position and operator on the accuracy of a confocal microscopy intraoral scanning (IOS) for complete-arch implant impression. Methods: An edentulous maxillary model with 6... more
Methods to support guidance during design of conventional interfaces are not anymore valid for modeling, analyzing and designing virtual and augmented reality systems. Our work addresses this lack proposing an extension of the model-based... more
Aim. to make a comparison between two different approaches of data matching during the preparation of a computer guided implant planning. Material and methods. Electronic and manual literature searches were performed to collect... more
