AMI-ARCS 2008, a one day satellite workshop of MICCAI 2008, will serve as a forum for researchers involved in all aspects of Augmented environments for Medical Imaging including Augmented Reality in Computer-aided Surgery. | ![]() |
![]() | In medical imaging, augmented environments aim to provide the physician with enhanced perception of the patient either by fusing various imaging modalities or by presenting image-derived information overlaid on the physician's view, establishing a direct relation between the image and the patient. The focus of this workshop will be innovative research into the technical aspects of augmentation, such as hardware and optical design, real-time implementations, registration and fusion, calibration, visualization and 3D perception as well as validation, clinical applications and clinical evaluation. In particular we will expect those presenting applications to describe the path to clinical introduction of their systems. We aim to include not only researchers in augmented reality but also those working on broader aspects of augmentation such as image fusion, simulation and rendering. AMI-ARCS will bring together researchers in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, and clinical medicine to present the state-of-the-art developments in this ever-growing research area. | |

![]() | Professor Yoshinobu Sato, Division of Image Analysis, Osaka University, Japan, will give a talk entitled Deformation for endoscopic surgical navigation about his work in augmented reality for thoracic and abdominal surgery including clinical experience with his system. ABSTRACT: An important issue in clinical applications of endoscopic surgical navigation for the thoracic and abdominal organs is organ motion and deformation during surgery as well as between pre- and intraoperative patient postures. In this talk, we describe our recent efforts to address this issue from the three aspects; (1) intraoperative motion data acquisition using intra-body magnetic trackers and laparoscopic 3D ultrasound systems, (2) intraoperative deformation estimation by combining pre- and intra-operative data, and (3) intraoperative deformation prediction using anatomical prior information, that is, atlas-based approach. In addition to in vitro and in vivo animal experiments, clinical tests are demonstrated for thoracoscopic lung cancer resection and urology applications | ![]() ![]() |
![]() | Dr Mirna Lerotic, Imperial College, London, UK, will speak about her work in augmented reality depth perception in a talk titled Augmented reality for minimally invasive surgery. ABSTRACT: Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) provides an ideal platform for using Augmented Reality (AR) for performing image guided surgery. A non-photorealistic rendering based AR technique for providing see-through vision of the embedded virtual object whilst maintaining salient anatomical details of the exposed anatomical surface will be presented. The method provides improved depth perception in stereo environments. | ![]() |
