Paper in MICCAI (2015): "Automated Assessment of Surgical Skills Using Frequency Analysis"

Paper Abstract We present an automated framework for a visual assessment of the expertise level of surgeons using the OSATS (Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills) criteria. Video analysis technique for extracting motion quality via frequency coefficients is introduced. The framework is tested in a case study that involved analysis of videos of medical students with different expertise levels performing basic […]

Paper MICCAI (2007): "A Boosted Segmentation Method for Surgical Workflow Analysis"

Abstract As demands on hospital efficiency increase, there is a stronger need for automatic analysis, recovery, and modification of surgical workflows. Even though most of the previous work has dealt with higher level and hospital-wide workflow including issues like document management, workflow is also an important issue within the surgery room. Its study has a […]
