The TeQ Group runs several research projects with long-term visions of impact.
Name
| Description |
 | Panda Surgical Limited is a TeQ spinout company that aims to increase the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive neurosurgery. Offering increased dexterity and decision-making support, the handheld robot aims to advance the scope of minimally-invasive endoscopic neurosurgery. Leads:
|
PITVIS | The Pituitary Vision Challenge (PitVis), was a challenge run by TeQ, where participants across the globe competed on creating the best artificial intelligence (AI) models to aid surgeons during endoscopic pituitary surgery based on video data. Leads:
|
AID PITSURG | Using the latest artificial intelligence (AI) models to aid surgeons during endoscopic pituitary surgery based on video data, including: automatically determining the surgical step the surgeon is currently performing, automatically detecting the surgical instrument the surgeon is using, and identifying critical parts of the anatomy. Leads:
|
CARES | Context Aware Augmented Reality Endoscopic Surgery (CARES) is a collaboration between neurosurgeons; machine learning scientists; and human factor researchers, working together to create the best solutions on how to aid surgeons with augmented reality assistance in endoscopic pituitary surgery. Leads:
|
VALIDATION SERIES OF SURGICAL SIMULATORS | A series of validation studies on neurosurgical and spinal surgical simulators. Leads:
|
SURGICAL SIMULATIONS ON LEARNING CURVE OF ENDOSCOPIC SPINE SURGERY | This project aims to quantify the changes in learning curve of a surgical procedure with high-volume simulation training Leads:
|
EMBRI | EMBRI is an IDEAL Stage 1 Feasibility study using ECoG arrays to capture brain recordings. The aim of the study is to identify markers of brain ischaemia secondary to supratentorial or infratentorial fixed brain retraction. Leads:
|
SUNAN | SUNAN is a basic science study involving a procedure using novel Neuropixel probes to record single-unit neurophysiological activity with human participants who are already undergoing a transcranial neurosurgical procedure on the brain. Leads
|
PITCOP | PITCOP is the first-ever international consensus study focusing on establishing the top research priorities for pituitary surgery (PSP) and developing a standardised research dataset (COS) to improve pituitary surgery research. it involves all major international pituitary units. Leads:
