Article Abstract
Introduction: Perioperative navigation is a recent addition to orthognathic surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of anatomical landmarks-based registration.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-five holes (1.2 mm diameter) were drilled in the surface of a plastic skull model, which was then scanned using a SkyView cone beam computed tomography scanner. DICOM files were imported into BrainLab ENT 3.0.0 to make a surgical plan. Six anatomical points were selected for registration: the infraorbital foramena, the anterior nasal spine, the crown tips of the upper canines, and the mesial contact point of the upper incisors. Each registration was performed five times by two separate observers (10 times total).
Results: The mean target registration error (TRE) in the anterior maxillary/zygomatic region was 0.93 ± 0.31 mm (p < 0.001 compared with other anatomical regions). The only statistically significant inter-observer difference of mean TRE was at the zygomatic arch, but was not clinically relevant.
Conclusion: With six anatomical landmarks used, the mean TRE was clinically acceptable in the maxillary/zygomatic region. This registration technique may be used to access occlusal changes during bimaxillary surgery, but should be used with caution in other anatomical regions of the skull because of the large TRE observed.

The biomechanical properties of articular cartilage arise from a complex bioenvironment comprising hierarchically organised collagen networks within the extracellular matrix (ECM) that interact with the proteoglycan-rich interstitial fluid. This network features a depth-dependent fibril organisation across different zones. Understanding how collagen fibrils respond to external loading is key to elucidating the mechanisms behind lesion formation and managing degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis.

Objective: To explore new metrics for assessing radical prostatectomy difficulty through a two-stage deep learning method from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
Methods: The procedure and metrics were validated through 290 patients consisting of laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy procedures from two real cohorts. The nnUNet_v2 adaptive model was trained to perform accurate segmentation of the prostate and pelvis.

Article Synopsis
- The study defines anatomical landmarks using preoperative MRI for patients with pituitary adenomas, focusing on how these landmarks relate to tumor resection rates and potential recurrence.
- A review of 626 patients treated via endoscopic endonasal approach was conducted, categorizing anatomical landmarks and utilizing statistical analysis to create a predictive model for surgical outcomes.
- Results showed a high gross total resection rate of 91.05%, identifying key anatomical landmarks and factors significantly associated with tumor progression, supported by a strong predictive model's accuracy.
Anatomical-Marker-Driven 3D Markerless Human Motion Capture.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
September 2025
Marker-based motion capture (mocap) is a conventional method used in biomechanics research to precisely analyze human movement. However, the time-consuming marker placement process and extensive post-processing limit its wider adoption. Therefore, markerless mocap systems that use deep learning to estimate 2D keypoint from images have emerged as a promising alternative, but annotation errors in training datasets used by deep learning models can affect estimation accuracy.
