3D stent recovery from one X-ray projection.

In the current clinical workflow of endovascular abdominal aortic repairs (EVAR) a stent graft is inserted into the aneurysmatic aorta under 2D angiographic imaging. Due to the missing depth information in the X-ray visualization, it is highly difficult in particular for junior physicians to place the stent graft in the preoperatively defined position within the aorta. Therefore, advanced 3D visualization of stent grafts is highly required.

Learning gestures for customizable human-computer interaction in the operating room.

Interaction with computer-based medical devices in the operating room is often challenging for surgeons due to sterility requirements and the complexity of interventional procedures. Typical solutions, such as delegating the interaction task to an assistant, can be inefficient. We propose a method for gesture-based interaction in the operating room that surgeons can customize to personal requirements and interventional workflow.
