2. 1. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning

   Author : Pontus Olsson; Ingrid B. Carlbom; Blake Hannaford; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical image processing; haptics; haptic rendering; haptic gripper; visuo-haptic co-location; vibrotactile feedback; surgery simulation; virtual surgery planning; cranio-maxillofacial surgery; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.

4. 2. On Virtual Surgical Planning in Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery

   Author : Johanna Nilsson; Andreas Thor; Risto Kontio; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Virtual surgical planning. Computer assisted planning. 3D computer model. Orbital segmentation. Craniomaxillofacial surgery planning. Haptics.; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

   Abstract : The complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) region makes surgery a challenging task. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has the potential to increase accuracy, reproducibility and shorten operation time. READ MORE

5. 3. Maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) : aspetcs on optimisation

   Author : Ayman Al-Okshi; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CBCT; OPTIMISATION; DOSAGE;

   Abstract : Inom odontologisk såväl som inom medicinsk radiologi sker en snabb utveckling av nya tekniker. Nya metoder för att kunna diagnosticera och följa sjukdomsförlopp över tid introduceras. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) är en sådan ny teknik, som introducerades inom odontologin under sent 1990-tal. READ MORE

6. 4. Quality management and work environment in Swedish oral and maxillofacial surgery

   Author : Göran Pilgård; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Denna avhandling beskriver uppfattningen av arbetet med kvalitet, kvalitetsledningssystem och arbetsmiljö bland medarbetarna på käkkirurgiska kliniker i Sverige.Målen med denna avhandling är att• Analysera om käkkirurgiska kliniker i Sverige aktivt arbetade med kvalitetsutveckling och i så fall vilket system som användes.

7. 5. Interactive 3D Image Analysis for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning and Orthopedic Applications

   Author : Johan Nysjö; Ingela Nyström; Filip Malmberg; Ida-Maria Sintorn; Jayaram K. Udupa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; medical image analysis; interactive segmentation; volume rendering; computed tomography; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Modern medical imaging devices are able to generate highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of the skeleton. Computerized image processing and analysis methods, combined with real-time volume visualization techniques, can greatly facilitate the interpretation of such images and are increasingly used in surgical planning to aid reconstruction of the skeleton after trauma or disease.
