Workflow mining for visualization and analysis of surgeries

Tobias Blum, Nicolas Padoy, Hubertus Feußner, Nassir Navab

Abstract: Modeling the workflow of a surgery is a topic of growing interest. Workflow models can be used to analyze statistical properties of a surgery, for intuitive visualization, evaluation and other applications. In most cases, workflow models are created manually, which is a time consuming process that might suffer from a personal bias. In this work, an approach for automatic workflow mining is presented.
