The TIPS procedure is an endovascular operation guided by biplane fluoroscopy. The goal is to pass a needle from the hepatic vein through the liver into the portal vein. We are dev...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel and fast method to localize and track needles during image-guided interventions. Our proposed method is comprised of framework of needle...
In biopsies, drainages, vertebroplasty, and other needle-based procedures, insight on the 3D position of a needle is crucial for correct navigation by the clinician. In this paper...
