Design Of A User Interface To Investigate The Role Of 3d Spatial Reasoning In Surgical Training, Ladan Ashrafi
Design Of A User Interface To Investigate The Role Of 3d Spatial Reasoning In Surgical Training, Ladan Ashrafi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis, a 3D interactive environment for measurement of spatial ability using Mental Rotation Test was designed and implemented. The spatial ability of two groups of participants (novices and experts) was evaluated using the implemented software and compared to the result from Embedded Figure Test. In Embedded Figure Test, only 15.63% of the experts’ responses were incorrect (with score of 6.75 ± 1.50 out of 8), compared to 57.00% for novices (with score of 3.44 ± 1.51). No significant difference was found between scores of the two group from Mental Rotation Test; however, experts responded significantly faster than novices …
Haptics-Enabled Teleoperation For Robotics-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery, Ali Talasaz
Haptics-Enabled Teleoperation For Robotics-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery, Ali Talasaz
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The lack of force feedback (haptics) in robotic surgery can be considered to be a safety risk leading to accidental tissue damage and puncturing of blood vessels due to excessive forces being applied to tissue and vessels or causing inefficient control over the instruments because of insufficient applied force. This project focuses on providing a satisfactory solution for introducing haptic feedback in robotics-assisted minimally invasive surgical (RAMIS) systems. The research addresses several key issues associated with the incorporation of haptics in a master-slave (teleoperated) robotic environment for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). In this project, we designed a haptics-enabled dual-arm (two …
Modeling Lung Tissue Motions And Deformations: Applications In Tumor Ablative Procedures, Ali Sadeghi Naini
Modeling Lung Tissue Motions And Deformations: Applications In Tumor Ablative Procedures, Ali Sadeghi Naini
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Various types of motion and deformation that the lung undergoes during minimally invasive tumor ablative procedures have been investigated and modeled in this dissertation. The lung frequently undergoes continuous large respiratory deformation, which can greatly affect the pre-planned outcome of the operation, hence deformation compensation becomes necessary. The first type of major deformation involved in a target lung throughout a tumor ablative procedure is the one encountered in procedures where the lung is totally deflated before starting the operation. A consequence of this deflation is that pre-operative images (acquired while the lung was partially inflated) become inaccurate for targeting the …

Image-Guided Robot-Assisted Techniques With Applications In Minimally Invasive Therapy And Cell Biology, Mahdi Azizian
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
There are several situations where tasks can be performed better robotically rather than manually. Among these are situations (a) where high accuracy and robustness are required, (b) where difficult or hazardous working conditions exist, and (c) where very large or very small motions or forces are involved. Recent advances in technology have resulted in smaller size robots with higher accuracy and reliability. As a result, robotics is fi nding more and more applications in Biomedical Engineering. Medical Robotics and Cell Micro-Manipulation are two of these applications involving interaction with delicate living organs at very di fferent scales.
