Segmental resection has been recommended for these tumors in the bones because curettage was found to be associated with a high local recurrence rate. Navigation-assisted surgery provides radiological information to guide the surgeon during surgery. No previous study has reported on the efficacy of navigation-assisted surgery for tumors in patients with TIO. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of navigation-assisted surgery for tumors in patients with TIO. Methods: The study included seven patients with TIO who were treated between January 2003 and December 2014 at our hospital. All patients underwent surgical treatment with or without the use of a 3-dimensional (3D) fluoroscopy-based navigation system. The laboratory data and oncological outcomes were evaluated. Results: The follow-up period was 8–128 months. The tumors were located at the femur (n = 4), ischium, spine and ilium (n = 1). Of the seven patients, five underwent navigation-assisted surgery and two underwent surgery without navigation assistance. In the two patients who underwent surgery without navigation assistance, a complete cure was not obtained and osteomalacia did not resolve. One of these two patients and the other five patients who underwent navigation-assisted surgery, one patient had incomplete resection due to massive invasion of the tumor into the spinal canal, but five patients achieved complete excision and recovered from osteomalacia. Conclusions: Navigation-assisted surgery using a 3D fluoroscopy-based navigation system is effective for tumors in patients with TIO.","PeriodicalId":56051,"journal":{"name":"Computer Assisted Surgery","volume":"22 1","pages":"14 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24699322.2017.1282044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45207818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferromagnetic components of MRI-powered can be manipulated remotely using the magnetic force or torque induced by MRI or magnetic field environment. However, (1) numerical analysis of the related factors, geometry and magnitude, influencing the ferromagnetic components, and (2) field non-homogeneities when placed in a uniform main magnetic field B0 are rarely reported. To address the relationship between magnetic force/torque and parameters, different radii of ferromagnetic spheres are required to exert magnetic force and torque with variable magnetic field. Comparison of the field homogeneities error (FHE) under various locations and parameters was investigated. In this study, we present the equivalent model of magnetic field and compare the magnetic force and torque of ferromagnetic sphere under different conditions and provide a safety distance of drive source (ferromagnetic sphere). The numerical models between parameters are established and significant factors were analyzed. Through various parameters of the ferromagnetic sphere, the performance of the numerical model in the magnetic field was evaluated. Cubic polynomial equations were developed to relate magnetic properties of ferromagnetic sphere with R2 > 0.9506. Field homogeneity was not significantly affected when actuation source was installed in 32 cm away from the isocenter.","PeriodicalId":56051,"journal":{"name":"Computer Assisted Surgery","volume":"21 1","pages":"168 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2016-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24699322.2016.1240312","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60126362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skeletal-muscle traction and alignment of the fracture fragments are always performed as individual components of the reduction and repositioning phase of the procedure. Methods: As use of high traction force and repositioning forces and torques can cause additional soft tissue injury, we developed a sensor-based system to monitor these forces and torques during the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur, including the monitoring of traction forces during the entire procedure, from reduction to IM nail implantation and fixation. Results: Based on a local coordinate system localized at the center of the fracture, maximum forces of 203 N along the medial-lateral (X) axis, 517 N along the anterior–posterior (Y) axis and 505 N along the shaft of the femur (Z-axis) were identified, with maximum torques of 16.4 Nm calculated around Y-axis and 38.3 Nm around X-axis. The pressure between the counteraction post and the perineum was also recorded, with magnitudes as high as 523 N being recorded. Excessive forces were identified and the difference in force–torque magnitudes during different stages of the reduction and fixation procedure were calculated.

In order to solve the problems, a new method was proposed to plan the lumbar pedicle screw placement automatically. Firstly, identify pedicle area and establish initial path based on the current vertebrae segmentation technology. After that, optimize path via the improved boundary limited Nelder–Mead simplex algorithm, and get the highest firmness path in theory.

Since the gross anatomical structure of the middle ear cannot be simulated in clinical practice, the surgery is mainly performed by experience and expertise. Based on the mechanical properties of TM, four hypotheses are presented where TM is simplified as a sectorial annulus membrane. This paper proposes a free vibration model of TM whose natural frequency of free vibration and the analytical expressions of corresponding natural vibration mode are obtained by variables separation method and Bessel function. Compared with the ANSYS numerical results, it shows that natural frequency calculated by finite element (FE) method is slightly higher because of the increase of model stiffness by ignoring high-order quantity. Compared with the experimental data from volunteers, it shows that the first-order, second-order and third-order principal resonances in the test are the combined effects of multiple natural frequencies and natural vibration modes instead of the single one. The theoretical model deduced in this paper is in higher precision with comparatively fewer parameters. It provides more precise mechanical reference to myringoplasty by calculating the response of the normal human ear.","PeriodicalId":56051,"journal":{"name":"Computer Assisted Surgery","volume":"21 1","pages":"61 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2016-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24699322.2016.1240315","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60125985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
