In a surgical model for spina bifida (see Luc Joyeux) we are trying to prevent iatrogenic leakage of amniotic fluid by improving the surgical suturing of the fetal membranes and the uterus. Surgical model: Fetal lambs Spina Bifida creation: d75

Fetoscopic testing of the Surgical Touch model was done. The Model can be well used for fetoscopy but is not usable as model for ultrasound guidance. Several attempts have been mad to improve image quality in the Canadian surgical touch

January 2015 Accurate and efficient guidance of medical devices to procedural targets lies at the heart of interventional procedures. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used for device guidance, however, determining the location of the device tip can be difficult. Various methods

We realized several calibration experiments using a straight fetoscope (GRIN Lens) for simplicity purposes. We considered camera models commonly assumed in computer vision and more particularly the general model of central catadioptric camera (figure 1). We chose this latter one because
