  1. 1. Spatialized Sonification for the Learning of Surgical Navigation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Alexander Danielsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Spatial Audio; Sonification; Surgical Simulations; Minimally invasive Surgery; Psychoacoustics; Spatial Ljud; Sonifikation; Kirurgiska Simulationer; Minimalinvasiv kirurgi; Psykoakustik;

    Abstract : Historically, the education of surgical navigation in minimally invasive neurosurgery has been constrained by several factors. Medical students have been required to physically be in the operating room to observe a teacher perform the different procedures. This restricts their opportunities to gain valuable hands-on experience in their field. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effects of Virtual Reality and Trajectory Visualization on Neurosurgical Training

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Max Wippich; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; Trajectory visualization; Neurosurgical education; External Ventricular Drain Placement; Virtuell verklighet; Banvisualisering; Neurokirurgisk utbildning; Externt ventrikulär dräneringsplacering;

    Abstract : With its increasing potential, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has found a growing presence in medical education. In the domain of neurosurgical training, VR has been thoroughly investigated, but gaps still persist, such as in the field of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and assistive visualizations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Needle Navigation for Image Guided Brachytherapy of Gynecologic Cancer

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Alireza Mehrtash; [2019]
    Keywords : Image Guided Surgery; Surgical Navigation System; Needle Navigation system; Brachytherapy; MRI; 3D Slicer;

    Abstract : In the past twenty years, the combination of the advances in medical imaging technologies and therapeutic methods had a great impact in developing minimally invasive interventional procedures. Although the use of medical imaging for the surgery and therapy guidance dates back to the early days of x-ray discovery, there is an increasing evidence in using the new imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic reso- nance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound in the operating rooms.

  5. 4. Robot Assisted Stapedotomy With an Active Handheld Instrument

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Tobia Vendrametto; [2015]
    Keywords : microsurgery; ear surgery; hand tremor; tremor cancellation; surgical robotics;

    Abstract : Robotic-assisted surgery is a rapid growing field, facing challenging tasks and demands from surgeons, in particular in minimally invasive and microsurgery. However many of the present robotic systems are not well integrated in the surgical workflow, too big or too expensive. READ MORE

  6. 5. Radio Frequency Thermal Treatment of Liver Tumours : -Influence of Blood Perfusion and Large Vessels

    University essay from Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

    Author : Per Andersson; [2008]
    Keywords : Radio Frequency Ablation; Hepathic tumours; FEM; Modelling; Simulation;

    Abstract : Radio frequency ablation (RFA) is a commonly used minimally invasive method of treating liver cancer tumours which utilises RF current for heating tumour tissue up to a lethal temperature. RF current is generated by a power generator and applied to the tumour by an electrode which is inserted into the tumour either during percutaneous or open surgery. READ MORE
