We have been developing a liver surgical support system. By matching the depth images of
the real liver and the 3D liver model during surgery, the position of the liver, invisible blood …

The author has already proposed an algorithm to perform depth image generation directly
from Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) on a Graphics Processing …

We have developed the liver surgical navigation system composed of three subsystems: the
liver position and orientation estimator, the surgical knife position estimator and the liver …

We are developing a surgical support system for liver abdominal surgery to prevent surgical
accidents. Our support system can detect proximity of certain body parts and can make a …

We are developing a liver surgical navigation system that uses a 3D liver model of the
patient. As the liver contains several types of blood vessels, surgeons can sterically check …

We are developing a surgical support system to prevent surgical accidents in liver surgery.
This system consists of three subsystems. First, The Liver Position and Posture Estimation …

We have been developing a depth-depth matching-based organ-following algorithm for use
in surgical navigation. In this paper, we experimentally compare the steepest descendent …

Human-Computer Interaction is a Thematic Area of the International Conference on Human-
Computer Interaction (HCII). The HCI field is today undergoing a wave of significant …

As we have been developing a liver surgical navigation system that uses a scanned 3D liver
model of the patient, we have pointed the necessity of the efficient posture estimation from …

We are developing a surgical support system for liver abdominal surgery. In this research,
an actual liver and virtual liver were registered, and the distance from the knife tip to the …
