TL;DR: The encouraging finding that most state-of-the-art algorithms produce tractograms containing 90% of the ground truth bundles (to at least some extent) is reported, however, the same tractograms contain many more invalid than valid bundles, and half of these invalid bundles occur systematically across research groups.

TL;DR: In this article, a system and methods for adaptively and interoperatively configuring an automated arm used during a medical procedure is described, which is configured to position and orient an end effector on the automated arm a desired distance and orientation from a target.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a planning, navigation and simulation system for minimally invasive therapy in which the planning method and system uses patient specific pre-operative images, and scores the paths depending on desired surgical outcome of the surgery.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate fundamental ambiguities inherent to tract reconstruction methods based on diffusion orientation information, with critical consequences for the approach of diffusion tractography in particular and human connectivity studies in general.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system in which devices that are employed during a medical procedure are adaptively configured during the medical procedure, based on input or feedback that is associated with the current state, phase or context.
