Motion Planning in Medicine: Optimization and Simulation Algorithms for Image-Guided Procedures

Motion Planning in Medicine: Optimization and Simulation Algorithms for Image-Guided Procedures by Ron Alterovitz, Ken Goldberg.

The monograph written by Ron Alterovitz and Ken Goldberg combines ideas from robotics, physically-based modeling, and operations research to develop new motion planning and optimization algorithms for image-guided medical procedures. A challenge clinicians commonly face is compensating for errors ca...
