SyntheX: Scaling Up Learning-based X-ray Image Analysis Through In Silico Experiments

1 code implementation13 Jun 2022 Cong Gao, Benjamin D. Killeen, Yicheng Hu, Robert B. Grupp, Russell H. Taylor, Mehran Armand, Mathias Unberath

Here, we demonstrate that creating realistic simulated images from human models is a viable alternative and complement to large-scale in situ data collection.

A Learning-based Method for Online Adjustment of C-arm Cone-Beam CT Source Trajectories for Artifact Avoidance

no code implementations14 Aug 2020 Mareike Thies, Jan-Nico Zäch, Cong Gao, Russell Taylor, Nassir Navab, Andreas Maier, Mathias Unberath

We propose to adjust the C-arm CBCT source trajectory during the scan to optimize reconstruction quality with respect to a certain task, i. e. verification of screw placement.

Generalizing Spatial Transformers to Projective Geometry with Applications to 2D/3D Registration

1 code implementation24 Mar 2020 Cong Gao, Xingtong Liu, Wenhao Gu, Benjamin Killeen, Mehran Armand, Russell Taylor, Mathias Unberath

We propose a novel Projective Spatial Transformer module that generalizes spatial transformers to projective geometry, thus enabling differentiable volume rendering.

Automatic Annotation of Hip Anatomy in Fluoroscopy for Robust and Efficient 2D/3D Registration

1 code implementation16 Nov 2019 Robert Grupp, Mathias Unberath, Cong Gao, Rachel Hegeman, Ryan Murphy, Clayton Alexander, Yoshito Otake, Benjamin McArthur, Mehran Armand, Russell Taylor

By using these annotations as training data for neural networks, state of the art performance in fluoroscopic segmentation and landmark localization was achieved.

Learning to Avoid Poor Images: Towards Task-aware C-arm Cone-beam CT Trajectories

no code implementations19 Sep 2019 Jan-Nico Zaech, Cong Gao, Bastian Bier, Russell Taylor, Andreas Maier, Nassir Navab, Mathias Unberath

Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) arise from a mismatch between physics of image formation and idealized assumptions during tomographic reconstruction.

Localizing dexterous surgical tools in X-ray for image-based navigation

2 code implementations20 Jan 2019 Cong Gao, Mathias Unberath, Russell Taylor, Mehran Armand

This manuscript describes a first step towards leveraging semantic information of the imaged object to initialize 2D/3D registration within the capture range of image-based registration by performing concurrent segmentation and localization of dexterous surgical tools in X-ray images.

Learning to See Forces: Surgical Force Prediction with RGB-Point Cloud Temporal Convolutional Networks

no code implementations31 Jul 2018 Cong Gao, Xingtong Liu, Michael Peven, Mathias Unberath, Austin Reiter

Our method results in a mean absolute error of 0. 814 N in the ex vivo study, suggesting that it may be a promising alternative to hardware based surgical force feedback in endoscopic procedures.
