Quantifying the Suitability of Biosignals Acquired During Surgery for Multimodal Analysis

Quantifying the Suitability of Biosignals Acquired During Surgery for Multimodal Analysis 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: Recently, large datasets of biosignals acquired during surgery became available. As they offer multiple physiological signals measured in parallel, multimodal analysis – which involves their joint analysis – can… read more

Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study

Author(s)3: Daniel Candinas, Raluca-Maria Sandu, Federico Storni, Stefan Weber, Gian Andrea Prevost, Iwan Paolucci, Anja Lachenmayer, Luca Sahli
Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study 820 615 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Non-anatomical resections of liver tumors can be very challenging as the surgeon cannot use anatomical landmarks on the liver surface or in the ultrasound image for guidance. This makes it…
