Medical Applications

3D Image Overlay - X-ray vision has always been the dream of surgeons; Image Overlay is the next best thing.	A Statistical Quantification of Human Brain Asymmetry - Constructing image index features to retrieve medically similar cases from a multimedia medical database.
ASAP - non-contact 3-D surgical instrument tracking for device testing and surgeon assessment	Biologically Inspired Micro Robotics - This project seeks to develop a joint angle sensor for a robotic cricket, which is part of a larger project with Case Western Reserve University.
Cell Tracking - We are developing fully-automated computer vision-based cell tracking algorithms and a system that automatically determines the spatiotemporal history of dense populations of cells over extended period of time.	Computer Assisted Medical Instrument Navigation - We are developing a system to help clinicians to precisely navigate various catheters inside human hearts.
Dynamic Conformal Radiotherapy	Evaluation of MSP Extraction Algorithms - The aim of this project is to evaluate different state-of-art algorithms for automatic extraction of the mid-sagital plane in brain images.
Forecasting the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture Patterns - Use of machine learning techniques to predict the injury pattern of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) using non-invasive methods.	HeartLander - A miniature mobile robot for minimally invasive therapy on the beating heart through a single percutaneous incision.
Highly-Articulated Robotic Probe - We developed and tested a prototype based on an innovative approach of a highly articulated robotic probe.	Hip Navigation System - Preoperative and intraoperative planning and execution system for high-precision total hip replacement.
Hip Range of Motion - Preoperative planning system for total hip replacement	Hot Flash Detection - Machine learning algorithms to detect hot flashes in women using physiological measures.
Knee Navigation Systems (KneeNav TKR/ACL) - We are developing two CT-based surgical navigation systems for total knee replacement and ACL reconstructive surgery.	Knee Surgery Simulation - Haptic interface for simulated knee surgery and interaction with volumetric data.
LSTAT/Snake Robot - We are working with the US Army's TATRC department (Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center) to integrate a snake robot into the LSTAT system.	Medical Image Registration - We use planar X-ray images to estimate the position and orientation of patient anatomy with respect to an external coordinate frame.
Micron: Intelligent Microsurgical Instruments - Suppression of hand tremor to improve precision in microsurgery.	Needle Steering for Brain Surgery - We are developing high accuracy proportional steering of flexible needles for minimally invasive navigation in the brain.
Precision Freehand Sculpting - We are developing a handheld tool to accurately cut bone for joint replacement surgery.	Predicting Risk of Alzheimer's Disease From Shape Features - The goal of this project is to use computer vision techniques to help predict risk of Alzheimer's Disease in elderly patients.
Soft Tissue Simulation for Plastic Surgery	Sonic FlashlightTM - We are developing a method of medical visualization that merges real time ultrasound images with direct human vision.
XAlign - 2D/3D registration technique is used to analyze the postoperative pelvic radiographs and to measure placement of implants after total hip replacement
