Dynamic Texture Mapping of 3D models for Stiffness Map Visualization

Workshop Paper, IROS '17 Workshop on Medical Imaging Robotics, September, 2017

Abstract

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has the potential to perform a variety of surgical procedures with precision, flexibility and control. However, lack of direct visual access can result in a cognitive overload for the surgeons. To overcome this issue, we have developed an augmented reality display that shows critical information overlaid on intraoperative model. We demonstrate our capabilities by dynamically updating the stiffness distribution over the surface of the anatomy being palpated intraoperatively.
