Ultrasound Guidance

Image-guidance during surgery can improve the likelihood of a successful clinical outcome by presenting the clinician with information from multiple image sources, to inform their decision-making process. Unfortunately, current methods of registering (aligning) data are often too slow or too awkward to be used in practice, or in real-time. We are developing a new framework for real-time registration that can be applied to applications as diverse as laparoscopic surgery, endoscopic fetal surgery, robot-assisted surgery and image-guided ablation of tumours. More details to follow.
