Acquisition and Remote Transfer of Operative Field View During Open Surgery
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2023 , Conference)Telementoring in open surgery has emerged as an alternative to on-site teaching. To ensure effective communication between the mentee and the mentor, the view of surgical operations in the operating room needs to be shared ... -
Assessing Virtual Reality Environment for Remote Telementoring during Open Surgeries
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2022 , Conference)In a telementoring setup for open surgeries, the motion of virtual surgical instruments is superimposed onto the operative field. This assists a mentor to effectively convey to the mentee the information pertaining to the ... -
Benchmarking Network Performance of Augmented Reality Based Surgical Telementoring Systems
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2022 , Conference)Telementoring in surgery facilitates the transfer of surgical knowledge from the mentor to the mentee. Augmented Reality (AR) further assists this transfer by overlaying visual cues (e.g., in the form of virtual surgical ... -
Development and Evaluation of a Mixed-Reality Tele-ultrasound System
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)ObjectiveThe objective of this feasibility study was to develop and assess a tele-ultrasound system that would enable an expert sonographer (situated at the remote site) to provide real-time guidance to an operator (situated ... -
Evaluating a Remote Tele-Mentoring Gameplay Setup for Teaching Laparoscopic Suturing Skills
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2023 , Conference)The work presents an evaluation study to investigate the potency of remote tele-mentoring gameplay for training in minimally invasive surgeries, as compared to training through traditional in-person methods for teaching ... -
Evaluation of user-interfaces for controlling movements of virtual minimally invasive surgical instruments
( John Wiley & Sons , 2022 , Article)Background: Recent tele-mentoring technologies for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) augments the operative field with movements of virtual surgical instruments as visual cues. The objective of this work is to assess different ... -
Intelligent DRL-Based Adaptive Region of Interest for Delay-Sensitive Telemedicine Applications
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2023 , Conference)Telemedicine applications have recently received substantial potential and interest, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote experience will help people get their complex surgery done or transfer knowledge to local ... -
Preliminary design and evaluation of a remote tele-mentoring system for minimally invasive surgery
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)Background: Tele-mentoring during surgery facilitates the transfer of surgical knowledge from a mentor (specialist surgeon) to a mentee (operating surgeon). The aim of this work is to develop a tele-mentoring system tailored ... -
Real-Time Colonic Disease Diagnosis with DRL Low Latency Assistive Control
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2024 , Article)In recent years, there has been a growing interest in endoscope automation and assisted control methods, with the primary objective of minimizing human error and associated stress. One critical challenge in the implementation ... -
Region of Interest Optimization for Delay-sensitive Telemedicine Applications
( IEEE , 2022 , Conference)Telemedicine is a rising technology that is gaining a lot of interest in the recent decades. Several applications of telemedicine are delay-sensitive and need to be operated in real-time. One of which is surgical tele-mentoring ... -
Tele-Mentoring Using Augmented Reality: A Feasibility Study to Assess Teaching of Laparoscopic Suturing Skills
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2023 , Conference)The work assesses the efficacy of computer based remote tele-mentoring system (i.e. when the mentor and mentee are physically separated) for teaching minimally invasive surgical skills. The visual cues used for tele-mentoring ... -
Telementoring System Assessment Integrated with Laparoscopic Surgical Simulators
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2023 , Conference)Laparoscopic simulators have emerged as effective tools for surgical training. The virtual environment is used in the simulator for the training of procedure-specific surgical skills. These simulators can be enhanced if ... -
Towards development of a tele-mentoring framework for minimally invasive surgeries
( John Wiley & Sons , 2021 , Article)Background: Tele-mentoring facilitates the transfer of surgical knowledge. The objective of this work is to develop a tele-mentoring framework that enables a specialist surgeon to mentor an operating surgeon by transferring ...
