Congratulations! Co-Me member Benoît Dagon has received the 2007 Best Poster Award at the 11th Annual
Conference of the International Society for Computer Aided Surgery
ISCAS which was part of the CARS 2007 Computer Assisted Radiology and
Surgery International Congress and Exhibition in Berlin, Germany. He
was honored for his presentation titled "3D-3D Non-Rigid Registration of an Organ
Model with Intraoperative Measured Data in Case of
Hepatectomy".
The goal of the project is to develop a method for updating
intraoperatively the surgical operation planning of a liver
resection. The organ deformations that occured since the 3D virtual
model was generated are taken into account to update the planning
information accordingly. Dagons method takes advantage of the skeleton
driven deformation model developed at the VRAI group (EPFL). Several
ultrasound images are acquired and processed during the operation to
provide the method with data updates. A hierarchical matching method
is used to establish the correspondence between both pre- and
intraoperative data.
Benoît Dagon is a member of Co-Me project 1 "Real-time sensor
fusion and 3D model update for minimally invasive surgery". Currently
he works towards his PhD at the Robotic Systems Laboratory of the
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
