Knowledge of vertebra location, shape, and orientation is crucial in many medical applications such as orthopedics or interventional procedures. Computed tomography (CT) offers a high contrast between bone and...
The segmentation of the peritoneum and diaphragm is important for the non-rigid registration and surgical simulation on the abdominal viscera region. However, there has been few works on the peritoneum or the ...
Optimizing management of multiple hospital operating rooms (ORs) is a complex problem. A large hospital can have upwards of greater than 50 with a large number of different procedures per day and per OR that n...
Surgery is characterized by complex tasks performed in stressful environments. To enhance patient safety and reduce errors, surgeons must be trained in environments that mimic the actual clinical setting. Rasm...
In this paper, a parametrization strategy based on reduced order methods is presented for tumor growth PDE models. This is applied to a new simple spatial model for lung metastasis including angiogenesis. The ...
Anesthesia-induced altered arousal depends on drugs having their effect in specific brain regions. These effects are also reflected in autonomic nervous system (ANS) outflow dynamics. To this extent, instantan...
Development of more sophisticated implantable brain-machine interface (BMI) will require both interpretation of the neurophysiological data being measured and subsequent determination of signals to be delivere...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women around the world. Breast Conservative Therapy (BCT) is a treatment where the complete tumor and a margin of healthy tissue are surgically removed (partial ma...
Preoperative simulation can greatly facilitate the safe and effective conduct of surgical procedures, especially for difficult and complex operations such as hepatectomy and pancreatectomy. A computer simulati...
The study compares the impact of cardiac surgical interventions on the autonomic function by assessing the pre-operative status and early post-operative recovery of subjects undergoing isolated mitral valve re...
Automatic closed-loop administration of medicinal drugs has been the subject of intense research for decades due to its undisputed potential benefits in terms of cost savings and improved patient outcomes. How...
Multiscale modeling of neuropsychiatric illness bridges scales of clinical importance: from the highest scales (presentation of behavioral signs and symptoms), through intermediate scales (clinical testing and...
The expected response to fluid infusion is an increase of cardiac output (CO), and this response depends mostly on the current cardiac function of the patient. The importance of the prediction of fluid respons...
Electrocardiogram (EKG) monitoring is a common standard of care across all operating rooms and intensive care units. Studies have suggested that respiratory variations in the EKG R wave amplitude (EKGv) can be...
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a rapidly developing medical technology that allows non-invasive thermal ablation of tumors. Thermal treatment of liver tumor, which is one of the most common malign...
Multiple sclerosis affect over 2.5 million people world‐wide. This autoimmune disease of the central nervous system causes damage to the insulating myelin sheaths around the axons in the brain. The disease pro...
This paper introduces the fundamental concepts of computational surgery by Garbey et al. and proposes a road map for progress in this new multidisciplinary field of applied investigation. Recognizing this intr...
Simulation of all phenomena taking place in a surgical procedure is a formidable task that involves, when possible, the use of supercomputing facilities over long time periods. However, decision taking in the ...
