Title: Surgical Robotics, Getting into Shape
 
Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery continues to drive the evolution of surgical robotics. The promise of faster recovery, smaller scars, and improved ergonomics is encouraging clinicians to integrate these technologies into routine practice. Beyond established indications such as prostatectomy and cholecystectomy, emerging techniques aim to further minimize access size and incision count. As instruments become smaller and more flexible, maintaining precise awareness of their configuration and position becomes increasingly critical for safe and intuitive operation. This talk highlights current applications and recent advances in sensing and control of instrument shape, enabling safer manipulation and supporting the ongoing trend toward ever smaller surgical access.

Title: Minimal Impact Surgical Robotics

Abstract: Miniaturisation is a historical occupation in Franche-Comté. This lead to the creation of a research activity in surgical microrobotics. A selection of results obtained at the FEMTO-ST institute over the last 15 years will be presented, targeting minimising the negative clinical impact of surgery. This will be followed by a  prospective over the minimisation of the negative environmental impact of surgical robotics.

Title: Fully and weakly supervised modeling of multiparametric MRI for automatic detection, segmentation and aggressivity characterization of prostate cancer. 

Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in more than half the countries of the world. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) has shown excellent results in the detection of high-grade tumors and is now recommended by the European Association of Urology guidelines, to be performed prior to any biopsy in cases of clinical suspicion of PCa. However, characterizing focal prostate lesions in mp-MRI sequences is time demanding and challenging, even for experienced readers. Despite the use of the diagnostic criteria such as PI-RADS v2 scoring system, its inter-reader reproducibility remains moderate at best.

This talk will focus on the research projects I have conducted over the past few years to develop deep learning models that automatically detect, segment PCa as well as characterize their aggressiveness. I will discuss fully supervised models as well as innovative weakly supervised architectures that have proven effective on private and public datasets.

Title: Intraoperative speech analysis during Awake Brain Surgery : Towards on automatic deep-learning based approach

Abstract: Awake brain surgery requires continuous monitoring of speech to preserve functional language areas during tumor resection. Various modalities such as EEG, EMG, fMRI, and audio can be used for monitoring; however, speech remains the least invasive and most interpretable signal, as detected impairments can be clinically verified with speech therapists.
The modeling of intraoperative audio presents major challenges related to noise, speaker overlap, and inter-patient variability. Artificial intelligence enables the extraction and classification of relevant acoustic patterns from clinical recordings, supporting objective assessment of speech impairments. Preliminary experiments conducted within the IMAGINE team at LaTIM, U1101, CHU Brest, using the Databrase corpus and the open-access TORGO dataset (recorded outside the surgical context but focused on speech impairment detection), demonstrate the feasibility of automatic classification of intraoperative speech disorders using deep learning models.

Title : Inferring Tissue Property Images from Measurement Data Using Real Intelligence: Three Centuries of Mathematical Modeling Still Matter in the Age of AI.

Abstract: Continuum models have evolved over centuries to describe material behavior under physical loads, guided by foundational scientific figures. Mathematical methods developed by pioneers enable solving these models in realistic configurations.
Despite the rise of deep learning, model-based inference remains vital for understanding complex materials without extensive training data. This talk showcases 20 years of imaging soft tissue mechanics using such models, highlighting future integration with AI techniques.
I would prefer to avoid time slots early on Thursday or late on Friday, as I'll be travelling by train and I can't guarantee that I will arrive on time, or have to leave a bit early.

Title de la présentation: Deep Learning for 3D Pose Estimation and Point Cloud Registration in Knee Surgery

Abstract:  The growing number of joint-replacement surgeries, driven by global population aging, increases the need for precise and reliable surgical assistance tools. A key challenge is rigid point-cloud registration between preoperative models (CT/MRI) and intraoperative data acquired by 3D cameras or lidar. This process estimates the rigid transformation that best aligns two geometries with partial or full overlap. Accurate registration is essential for correctly positioning anatomical structures and computing precise cutting planes in knee surgery

Title : Towards Robust Tracking with Medical Endoscopes: A Probabilistic Modelling and Control Approach

Abstract:
In this presentation, we introduce a probabilistic modelling and control approach developed to automate contactless surgical tasks with a robotized medical endoscope by tracking trajectories using visual feedback from an endoscopic camera, with laser ablation as one of the target applications. The approach relies on a probabilistic motion model learning method for tendon-actuated continuum robots that experience actuation transmission nonlinearities. A stochastic model predictive control scheme for vision-guided trajectory tracking leverages the learned probabilistic model and explicitly accounts for model parameter uncertainty to improve decision-making.

Title: DL-based image registration for intraoperative assistance in endocavitary cardiac procedures

Abstract: Cardiac procedures, such as cardiac biopsy or stem cell insertion, are guided solely by 2D fluoroscopic imaging and require precise targeting of infarcted areas. In order to refine the procedure and make the therapy more effective we propose a method to register a 3D cardiac model with a 2D fluoroscopic image based on deep reinforcement learning.
