title = "Intraoperative cone beam CT guidance for transoral robotic surgery",
abstract = "We have developed an intraoperative image guidance system that integrates information from cone beam computed tomography with video augmentation for transoral robotic surgery. A proposed workflow to overlay critical structures with relative tool positions on stereoscopic endoscopy for resection of base of tongue neoplasms was evaluated using ex vivo and in vivo animal models. Results included visual confirmations of augmented critical anatomy during controlled arterial dissection and successful mock tumor resection. The proposed image-guided robotic system also achieved improved resection ratios of mock tumor margins (1.00) when compared to control scenarios (0.0) and alternative methods of image guidance (0.58).",
