Abstract:
:Patient-specific customized cranial implants (CCIs) are designed to fill the bony voids in the cranial and craniofacial skeleton. The current clinical approach during single-stage cranioplasty involves a surgeon modifying an oversized CCI to fit a patient's skull defect. The manual process, however, can be imprecise and time-consuming. This paper presents an automated surgical workflow with a robotic workstation for intraoperative CCI modification that provides higher resizing accuracy compared to the manual approach. We proposed a 2-scan method for intraoperative patient-to-CT registration using reattachable fiducial markers to address the registration issue caused by the clinical draping requirement. First, the draped defected skull was 3D scanned and registered to the CT space using our proposed 2-scan registration method. Next, our algorithm generates a robot cutting toolpath based on the 3D defect model. The robot then performs automatic 3D scanning to localize the implant and resizes the implant to match the cranial defect. We evaluated the implant resizing accuracy of the proposed paradigm against the resizing accuracy of the manual approach by an expert surgeon on two plastic skulls and two cadavers. The evaluation results showed that our system was able to decrease the bone gap distance by more than 60% and 30% on plastic skulls and cadavers respectively compared to the manual approach, indicating lower risk of post-surgical complication and better aesthetic restoration.

文献大全abstract::Task and motion planning (TMP) combines discrete search and continuous motion planning. Earlier work has shown that to efficiently find a task-motion plan, the discrete search can leverage information about the continuous geometry. However, incorporating continuous elements into discrete planners presents challenges. ...

abstract::Fine needle deflection is a problem encountered during insertion into a soft tissue. Although an axial rotational insertion is an effective approach for minimizing this problem, needle deflection still depends on the insertion angle with respect to the tissue boundary. Since the human body consists of multi-layered ti...
