Our goal is to study from clinical data, how the plate­to­bone distance affects bone healing. The patient­specific 3D shape of the femur is, however, seldom recorded for cases of femoral osteosynthesis since this typically requires Computed Tomography (CT), which comes at high cost and radiation dose. Our method instead utilizes two postoperative X­ray images to derive the femoral shape and thus can be applied on radiographs that are taken in clinical routine for follow­up. First, the implant geometry is used as a calibration object to relate the implant and the individual X­ray images spatially in a virtual X­ray setup. In a second step, the patient­specific femoral shape and pose are reconstructed in the virtual setup by fitting a deformable statistical shape and intensity model (SSIM) to the images. The relative positioning between femur and implant is then assessed in terms of displacement between the reconstructed 3D shape of the femur and the plate. A preliminary evaluation based on 4 cadaver datasets shows that the method derives the plate­to­bone distance with a mean absolute error of less than 1mm and a maximum error of 4.7 mm compared to ground truth from CT. We believe that the approach presented in this paper constitutes a meaningful tool to elucidate the effect of implant positioning on fracture healing.

However, the effectiveness of visuohaptic integration in promoting object retention across different display environments remains underexplored. Our study extends previous research on the retention effects of haptics from virtual reality to a projected surface display to assess whether earlier findings generalize to 2D environments. Participants performed a delayed match-to-sample task incorporating visual, haptic, and visuohaptic sensory feedback within a projected surface display environment. We compared error rates and response times across these sensory modalities and display environments. Our results reveal that visuohaptic integration significantly enhances object retention on projected surfaces, benefiting task performance across display environments. Our findings suggest that haptics can improve object retention without requiring fully immersive setups, offering insights for the design of interactive systems that assist professionals who rely on precise mental representations of digital objects.

Computertomographische Datensätze liefern eine räumliche Verteilung der (Röntgen-)Dichte und ermöglichen damit eine gute Darstellung der individuellen Geometrie. Weiter können die verschiedenen Materialbestandteile des Knochens, Spongiosa und Kortikalis, voneinander getrennt werden. Aber die richtungsabängige Information der Materialanisotropie ist verloren. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Ansatz für eine anisotrope Materialbeschreibung vorgestellt, die es ermöglicht, den Einfluss der individuellen knöchernen Struktur auf das makroskopische Materialverhalten abzuschätzen.

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 discipline is growing in relevance for the evident advantages of non-destructive imaging techniques over traditional paleontological methods, and it has made significant advancements during the last few decades. However, virtual paleontology still faces a number of technological challenges, amongst which are interaction shortcomings of image segmentation applications. Whereas automated segmentation methods are seldom applicable to fossil datasets, manual exploration of these specimens is extremely time-consuming as it impractically delves into three-dimensional data through two-dimensional visualization and interaction means. This paper presents an application that employs virtual reality and haptics to virtual paleontology in order to evolve its interaction paradigms and address some of its limitations. We provide a brief overview of the challenges faced by virtual paleontology practitioners, a description of our immersive virtual paleontology prototype, and the results of a heuristic evaluation of our design.

By adopting a physical perspective, we introduce a differential representation that puts the local geometric variability into focus. We model these differential coordinates as elements of a Lie group thereby endowing our shape space with a non-Euclidean structure. A key advantage of our framework is that statistics in a manifold shape space becomes numerically tractable improving performance by several orders of magnitude over state-of-the-art. We show that our Riemannian model is well suited for the identification of intra-population variability as well as inter-population differences. In particular, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model in experiments on specificity and generalization ability. We further derive a statistical shape descriptor that outperforms the standard Euclidean approach in terms of shape-based classification of morphological disorders.
