Augmented Reality-based Solutions for Surgical Navigation Support
The growing adoption of Augmented Realities solutions for different Surgical Disciplines is well established in the literature, with several reports of its use in various application areas, from improving 3D reconstruction models of the anatomic structures in-vivo surgeries to pre-operatory preparation, to diagnostics and training. During this focused seminar, the author will present as case studies three solutions he has developed for Augmented Reality applications to support minimally invasive medicine: one for supporting Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (AR-RAPN), one for supporting Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomies (RARP) and a third one, a current work-in-progress, to support Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS).
Speaker: Prof. Pietro Piazzolla
Date and time: Friday, 8th March 2024, 16:30-17:30
Venue: The auditorium located on the lower ground floor of the Milan Building
Profile of the speaker:
PIETRO PIAZZOLLA has consolidated experience in the design and creation of Mixed Reality tools to support in-vivo surgery. His research interests focus on neural network-based and computer vision-based solutions for the registration and anchoring of 3D models over image streams. This experience is attested by numerous scientific articles, participation in national and international medical conferences as an invited speaker, and his teaching activity in the Engineering and Biotechnology colleges at Polytechnics of Turin and Milan (Italy).
