Lo B, Scarzanella MV, Stoyanov D, et al., 2008, Belief propagation for depth cue fusion in minimally invasive surgery., Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv, Vol: 11, Pages: 104-112
In minimally invasive surgery, dense 3D surface reconstruction is important for surgical navigation and integrating pre- and intra-operative data. Despite recent developments in 3D tissue deformation techniques, their general applicability is limited by specific constraints and underlying assumptions. The need for accurate and robust tissue deformation recovery has motivated research into fusing multiple visual cues for depth recovery. In this paper, a Markov Random Field (MRF) based Bayesian belief propagation framework has been proposed for the fusion of different depth cues. By using the underlying MRF structure to ensure spatial continuity in an image, the proposed method offers the possibility of inferring surface depth by fusing the posterior node probabilities in a node's Markov blanket together with the monocular and stereo depth maps. Detailed phantom validation and in vivo results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and practical value of the technique.

The use of vision based algorithms in minimally invasive surgery has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its potential in providing in situ 3D tissue deformation recovery for intra-operative surgical guidance and robotic navigation. Thus far, a large number of feature descriptors have been proposed in computer vision but direct application of these techniques to minimally invasive surgery has shown significant problems due to free-form tissue deformation and varying visual appearances of surgical scenes. This paper evaluates the current state-of-the-art feature descriptors in computer vision and outlines their respective performance issues when used for deformation tracking. A novel probabilistic framework for selecting the most discriminative descriptors is presented and a Bayesian fusion method is used to boost the accuracy and temporal persistency of soft-tissue deformation tracking. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with both simulated data with known ground truth, as well as in vivo video sequences recorded from robotic assisted MIS procedures. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
Lo B, Yang GZ, 2007, Body sensor networks - research challenges and opportunities, Pages: 26-32
Recent advances in bionics, wireless network and computer technologies have enabled the realisation of miniaturised wireless biosensors for pervasive monitoring. Based on these technologies, the concept of Body Sensor Network (BSN) has been proposed to improve patient care, chronic disease management, and promote lifelong health and wellbeing for the ageing population. In order to provide a truly pervasive monitoring and sensing environment, a number of research issues have to be addressed. These include biosensor design, biocompatibility, wireless communication, power management, and autonomic sensing. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current BSN development and outline some of the research challenges and opportunities that it brings.

Aziz O, Atallah L, Lo B, et al., 2007, A Pervasive Body Sensor Network for Measuring Postoperative Recovery at Home, Surgical Innovation, Vol: 14, Pages: 83-90
Patients going home following major surgery are susceptible to complications such as wound infection, abscess formation, malnutrition, poor analgesia, and depression, all of which can develop after the fifth postoperative day and slow recovery. Although current hospital recovery monitoring systems are effective during perioperative and early postoperative periods, they cannot be used when the patient is at home. Measuring and quantifying home recovery is currently a subjective and labor-intensive process. This case report highlights the development and piloting of a wireless body sensor network to monitor postoperative recovery at home in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The device consists of wearable sensors (vital signs, motion) combined with miniaturized computers wirelessly linked to each other, thus allowing continuous monitoring of patients in a pervasive (unobtrusive) manner in any environment. Initial pilot work with results in both the simulated (with volunteers) and the real home environment (with patients) is presented.
James A, Vieira D, Lo B, et al., 2007, Eye-gaze driven surgical workflow segmentation, Pages: 110-117, ISSN: 0302-9743
In today's climate of clinical governance there is growing pressure on surgeons to demonstrate their competence, improve standards and reduce surgical errors. This paper presents a study on developing a novel eye-gaze driven technique for surgical assessment and workflow recovery. The proposed technique investigates the use of a Parallel Layer Perceptor (PLP) to automate the recognition of a key surgical step in a porcine laparoscopic cholecystectomy model. The classifier is eye-gaze contingent but combined with image based visual feature detection for improved system performance. Experimental results show that by fusing image instrument likelihood measures, an overall classification accuracy of 75% is achieved. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
