2012 IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics

Workshop on Robot-Assisted Laryngeal Microsurgery

Toward Laryngeal Tumors Detection and Medical Images Segmentation Techniques

Giulio Dagnino, Leonardo S. Mattos and Darwin G. Caldwell, IIT, Italy

A brief overview on medical imaging techniques for laryngeal tumor detection and segmentation will be presented in this talk. We will describe the state of the art of imaging methods for laryngeal tumors detection and computer algorithms for their segmentation. Then, state-of-the-art techniques for real-time precise tumor detection will be introduced and, finally, we will discuss related future work.
