Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235, USA
Int J Med Robot 6:281-90. 2010..The focus of this paper addresses a major challenge with this approach, which is the ability to determine, in a pre-operative CT, a safe and effective drilling trajectory...- Clinical validation of percutaneous cochlear implant surgery: initial reportRobert Frederick Labadie
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37232 8605, USA
Laryngoscope 118:1031-9. 2008..We sought to clinically validate this technique in patients undergoing traditional cochlear implant surgery... - Automatic segmentation of the facial nerve and chorda tympani in CT images using spatially dependent feature valuesJack H Noble
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37235, USA
Med Phys 35:5375-84. 2008..The results show that the maximum error in structure wall localization is approximately 2 voxels for the facial nerve and the chorda, demonstrating that the method the authors propose is robust and accurate... - Automatic segmentation of intracochlear anatomy in conventional CTJack H Noble
