IGT in MICCAI 2024

The IGT group participated giving a hands-on tutorial and two talks. The tutorial, called AI-based image segmentation and labeling with free open source software, 3D Slicer, was organized by Mónica García Sevilla (from our IGT group) and Rebecca Hisey (from Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada). Alicia Pose Díez de la Lastra, also from our IGT group, was an instructor during the event.

Our new paper on Augmented Reality and 3D printing for Microtia reconstruction is already available!

Microtia is a congenital malformation of the auricle that affects approximately 4 of every 10,000 live newborns. Radiographic film paper is traditionally employed to bidimensionally trace the structures of the contralateral healthy ear in a quasi-artistic manner. Anatomical points provide linear and angular measurements. However, this technique proves time-consuming, subjectivity-rich, and greatly dependent on surgeon… Continue reading Our new paper on Augmented Reality and 3D printing for Microtia reconstruction is already available!

The IGT group, in NAMIC Project Week

One more time, the IGT group participates in the NAMIC Project Week! The Project Week is a week-long hackathon of hands on activity in which medical image computing researchers create solutions using the open source image computing platform, 3D Slicer, and VTK, ITK, CMake, and CDash libraries as well as OHIF, Cornerstone, dcmjs, vtkjs, itkjs, DICOMweb, Girder and related web technologies. Participants work collaboratively on solutions that lie on… Continue reading The IGT group, in NAMIC Project Week

Check out our last paper on Augmented Reality to improve surgical planning

Our paper on “Real-time integration between Microsoft HoloLens 2 and 3D Slicer with demonstration in pedicle screw placement planning” has been published in the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (IJCARS). In it, we present a novel framework to send information in real time between Microsoft HoloLens 2 and 3D Slicer using the OpenIGTLink… Continue reading Check out our last paper on Augmented Reality to improve surgical planning

Non-invasive localization of breast lesions for surgical planning

IGT group has participated in the development of a new technique based on medical imaging which makes it possible to non-invasively estimate the location of a tumour in the surgical position required for breast cancer surgery.

Our new paper out today: “HoloLens 1 vs. HoloLens 2: Improvements in the New Model for Orthopedic Oncological Interventions”

Our paper on “HoloLens 1 vs. HoloLens 2: Improvements in the New Model for Orthopedic Oncological Interventions” is now published in Sensors Journal! In it, we compare the ergonomics, usability, and AR projection accuracy of both HoloLens devices. Our goal was to determine the improvements of the newest model in this clinical context. Take a look at… Continue reading Our new paper out today: “HoloLens 1 vs. HoloLens 2: Improvements in the New Model for Orthopedic Oncological Interventions”
