Face detection in the operating room: comparison of state-of-the-art methods and a self-supervised approachAbstractPurposeFace detection is a needed component for the automatic analysis and assistance of human activities during surgical procedures. Efficient face detection algorithms can indeed help to detect and identify the persons present in the room and also be used to automatically anonymize the data. However, current algorithms trained on natural images do not generalize well to the operating...

Toward an automatic preoperative pipeline for image-guided temporal bone surgeryAbstractPurposeMinimally invasive surgery is often built upon a time-consuming preoperative step consisting of segmentation and trajectory planning. At the temporal bone, a complete automation of these two tasks might lead to faster interventions and more reproducible results, benefiting clinical workflow and patient health.MethodsWe propose an automatic segmentation and trajectory planning pipeline for image-guided interventions...

Catheter localization in 3D ultrasound using voxel-of-interest-based ConvNets for cardiac interventionAbstractPurposeEfficient image-based catheter localization in 3D US during cardiac interventions is highly desired, since it facilitates the operation procedure, reduces the patient risk and improves the outcome. Current image-based catheter localization methods are not efficient or accurate enough for real clinical use.MethodsWe propose a catheter localization method for 3D cardiac ultrasound (US)....

Uncertainty-aware performance assessment of optical imaging modalities with invertible neural networksAbstractPurposeOptical imaging is evolving as a key technique for advanced sensing in the operating room. Recent research has shown that machine learning algorithms can be used to address the inverse problem of converting pixel-wise multispectral reflectance measurements to underlying tissue parameters, such as oxygenation. Assessment of the specific hardware used in conjunction with such algorithms,...

Automatic self-gated 4D-MRI construction from free-breathing 2D acquisitions applied on liver imagesAbstractPurposeMRI slice reordering is a necessary step when three-dimensional (3D) motion of an anatomical region of interest has to be extracted from multiple two-dimensional (2D) dynamic acquisition planes, e.g., for the construction of motion models used for image-guided radiotherapy. Existing reordering methods focus on obtaining a spatially coherent reconstructed volume for each time. However,...

Position-based modeling of lesion displacement in ultrasound-guided breast biopsyAbstractPurposeAlthough ultrasound (US) images represent the most popular modality for guiding breast biopsy, malignant regions are often missed by sonography, thus preventing accurate lesion localization which is essential for a successful procedure. Biomechanical models can support the localization of suspicious areas identified on a preoperative image during US scanning since they are able to account for anatomical...
