Although it is known that Campylobacter jejuni invade the cells that line the human intestinal
tract, the bacterial proteins that enable this pathogen to survive within Campylobacter …

This work presents a novel scheme for tracking of motion and deformation of interventional
tools such as guide-wires and catheters in fluoroscopic X-ray sequences. Being able to track …

Robust tracking of interventional tools, such as guidewires and catheters, in X-ray
fluoroscopic video sequences has a wide range of clinical applications for endovascular …

Three-dimensional multimodality roadmap** is entering clinical routine utilization for
neuro-vascular treatment. Its purpose is to navigate intra-arterial and intra-venous …

Minimally invasive interventions are frequently aided by 2D projective image guidance. To
facilitate the navigation of medical tools within the patient, information from preoperative 3D …

The registration of 3D vasculature to 2D projections is the key for providing advanced
systems for image-based navigation and guidance. In areas with non-rigid patient motion …

We describe a novel approach to using soft-tissue data sets, such as computer tomography
on magnetic resonance, in the minimally invasive image guidance of intra-arterial and …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Approaching the cervical and high thoracic level
epidural space through transepidural route from lumbar region represents a method to lower …

Nowadays, abdominal catheterizations are mainly guided by 2D fluoroscopic imaging from
one view, which complicates this task due to missing depth information, vessel invisibility …

Fusing live fluoroscopy images with a 3D rotational reconstruction of the vasculature allows
to navigate endovascular devices in minimally invasive neuro-vascular treatment, while …
