Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), Part III N2 - Surgical tool segmentation in endoscopic videos is an important component of computer assisted interventions systems. Recent success of image-based solutions using fully-supervised deep learning approaches can be attributed to the collection of big labeled datasets. However, the annotation of a big dataset of real videos can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Computer simulations could alleviate the manual labeling problem, however, models trained on simulated data do not generalize to real data. This work proposes a consistency-based framework for joint learning of simulated and real (unlabeled) endoscopic data to bridge this performance generalization issue. Empirical results on two data sets (15 videos of the Cholec80 and EndoVis'15 dataset) highlight the effectiveness of the proposed Endo-Sim2Real method for instrument segmentation. We compare the segmentation of the proposed approach with state-of-the-art solutions and show that our method improves segmentation both in terms of quality and quantity.

Prior work in this area focuses on recognizing short-term tool usage patterns within surgical phases. However, the difference between intra- and inter-phase tool usage patterns has not been investigated for automatic phase recognition. We developed a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), in particular a state-preserving Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) architecture to utilize the long-term evolution of tool usage within complete surgical procedures. For fully automatic tool presence detection from surgical video frames, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based architecture namely ZIBNet is employed. Our proposed approach outperformed EndoNet by 8.1% on overall precision for phase detection tasks and 12.5% on meanAP for tool recognition tasks.

The hospitals prefer to keep the surgeons busy in real operations over training young surgeons for obvious economic reasons. One fundamental need in surgical training is the reduction of the time needed by the senior surgeon to review the endoscopic procedures performed by the young surgeon while minimizing the subjective bias in evaluation. The unprecedented performance of deep learning ushers the new age of data-driven automatic analysis of surgical skills. Method: Deep learning is capable of efficiently analyzing thousands of hours of laparoscopic video footage to provide an objective assessment of surgical skills. However, the traditional end-to-end setting of deep learning (video in, skill assessment out) is not explainable. Our strategy is to utilize the surgical process modeling framework to divide the surgical process into understandable components. This provides the opportunity to employ deep learning for superior yet automatic detection and evaluation of several aspects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy such as surgical tool and phase detection. We employ ZIBNet for the detection of surgical tool presence. ZIBNet employs pre-processing based on tool usage imbalance, a transfer learned 50-layer residual network (ResNet-50) and temporal smoothing. To encode the temporal evolution of tool usage (over the entire video sequence) that relates to the surgical phases, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) units are employed with long-term dependency. Dataset: We used CHOLEC 80 dataset that consists of 80 videos of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by 13 surgeons, divided equally for training and testing. In these videos, up to three different tools (among 7 types of tools) can be present in a frame. Results: The mean average precision of the detection of all tools is 93.5 ranging between 86.8 and 99.3, a significant improvement (p <0.01) over the previous state-of-the-art. We observed that less frequent tools like Scissors, Irrigator, Specimen Bag etc. are more related to phase transitions. The overall precision (recall) of the detection of all surgical phases is 79.6 (81.3). Conclusion: While this is not the end goal for surgical skill analysis, the development of such a technological platform is essential toward a data-driven objective understanding of surgical skills. In future, we plan to investigate surgeon-in-the-loop analysis and feedback for surgical skill analysis.

The ultimate goal is to design patient-speci� c cranial implants for correcting large, arbitrarily shaped defects of the skull that can, for example, result from trauma of the head. Our approach utilizes a 3D statistical shape model (SSM) of the skull and a 2D generative adversarial network (GAN) that is trained in an unsupervised fashion from samples of healthy patients alone. By � tting the SSM to given input labels containing the skull defect, a First approximation of the healthy state of the patient is obtained. The GAN is then applied to further correct and smooth the output of the SSM in an anatomically plausible manner. Finally, the defect region is extracted using morphological operations and subtraction between the extrapolated healthy state of the patient and the defective input labels. The method is trained and evaluated based on data from the MICCAI 2020 AutoImplant challenge. It produces state-of-the art results on regularly shaped cut-outs that were present in the training and testing data of the challenge. Furthermore, due to unsupervised nature of the approach, the method generalizes well to previously unseen defects of varying shapes that were only present in the hidden test dataset.

An average geometry of the healthy nasal cavity was generated using a statistical shape model based on 25 symptom-free subjects. Airflow within the average geometry and these geometries was calculated using fluid simulations. Integral measures of the nasal resistance, wall shear stresses (WSS) and velocities were calculated as well as cross-sectional areas (CSA). Furthermore, individual WSS and static pressure distributions were mapped onto the average geometry. The average geometry featured an overall more regular shape that resulted in less resistance, reduced wall shear stresses and velocities compared to the median of the 25 geometries. Spatial distributions of WSS and pressure of average geometry agreed well compared to the average distributions of all individual geometries. The minimal CSA of the average geometry was larger than the median of all individual geometries (83.4 vs. 74.7 mm²). The airflow observed within the average geometry of the healthy nasal cavity did not equal the average airflow of the individual geometries. While differences observed for integral measures were notable, the calculated values for the average geometry lay within the distributions of the individual parameters. Spatially resolved parameters differed less prominently.
