Image Guided Surgeries - From Bench to Bedside and Back

Summer term 2013

A new type of course:
  • you will learn the basics of some intraoperative and minimal-invasive surgeries
  • you will work in teams of 3
  • you will participate in an actual surgery and record the procedure - from patient anaesthesia to finish
  • you will directly talk to the surgeons about the procedure and come up with a defined process including interfaces, logistical approaches, use of technologies
  • you will then work in your teams analyzing these processes and come-up with possible improvements (use of diagnostic imaging, logistical improvements, ...)
  • ... and try to translate that into an actual proposal for the surgical team
  • there will be a presentation to everyone on the procedure itself and
  • a final presentation (to everyone) including a proposal for the surgical teams
Participants learn the basics of medical applications in minimally invasive image guided surgery and related hybrid imaging. They gain the knowledge to understand the complex medical environment as well as its challenges in order to improve these procedures (including logistics and imaging in the operating theatre of the future). With knowledge about technology and algorithm they can model and master complex solutions. Besides the medical and technical knowledge, definition of clinical, technical projects in the field of intra operative imaging and navigation for minimal invasive surgery is the core focus during the course. Exposure to real world problems makes this a unique setup for modeling and implementing creative solutions.

Assignments

  • Midterm presentation (Powerpoint or equivalent) of 15 minutes including the medical basics of the procedure, equipment used, evaluation of procedure (logistics, use of equipment, timing, who is involved and individual roles, other relevant informations, and next steps ...)
  • Final presentation (Powerpoint or equivalent) of 15 minutes of defined process, engineering and computer science relevant evaluation, identification of process improvement, actual process improvement (pick one topic) with diagnostic imaging (improve quality and surgical accuracy? improve timing of procedure? forensic information? cost improvement? ...)
  • Prepare a 10-15 page document on the findings, if possible create a prototype

Administrative Info

Lecture: affiliate Prof. Dr. Michael Friebe and Dr. Jörg Traub
Tutor: Philipp Matthies

Type: Lecture + Lab Courses TUMonline
Programs: Informatics (Bachelor, Master)
Biomedical Computing (Master)
Information Systems (Wirtschaftsinformatik) (Bachelor, Master)
SWS: 2+2
ECTS: 6 Credits
Course Language: English

Time, Location & Requirements

Lecture: The lecture will be held in 6 morning blocks of 4,5 hours each (8.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m.), the dates are:

  • Block 1: April 19, 2013
  • Block 2: April 26, 2013
  • Work assignment is due May 16th
  • Block 3: May 17, 2013 // lecture will end at 11:45am due to the INAUGURAL LECTURE of Michael Friebe to which everyone is invited
  • Block 4: June 14, 2013
  • Block 5: June 28, 2013

Location: Conference room in IAS basement

We will have teams working on NOTES procedures, conventional laparoscopy / bronchoscopy, arthroscopy, stenting interventions, and possibly other. The surgeries will be performed in Munich hospitals. The teams will be asked to contact the head surgeons for an appointment and arrange for a Q&A session before and/or after the surgery. The surgery should be well documented -- please use an engineering approach to analyze the procedures.

Please note that the lecturers will be available 30 minutes prior to and 1 hour after the lecture in their office in the TUM-IAS building (Room 2.004), 2nd floor, right, last one on the left.

Requirements:

  • The classes and assignments are in English
  • Assignments are to be composed in English only

Announcements

  • Grading will be based on attendance (10%), the midterm presentation (10%), the final group presentation (20%), the proposal document and project work (40%), and a written test (45 minutes) on the technology basics (20%)
  • ALERT!One excused (E-Mail at least two days prior to lecture with reason) absence will be accepted, two excused absences will cause a "4" in attendance, a non-excused absence equals failure of the course. That includes the attendance of the surgeries and Q&A sessions. The first block is mandatory!
  • Clinical collaborators include Prof. Dr. E. Euler (Trauma Surgery, Navigated Orthopedic Surgery), Dr. Simon Weidert (Trauma Surgery, Navigated Orthopedic Surgery), Dr. med. Reza Ghotbi (Endovascular Surgery), Prof. Dr. Hubertus Feußner (Minimal Invasive, Laparoscopic Surgery), Prof. Dr. Hubert Hautmann (Pneumologie, Navigated Bronchoscopy) ... (more to follow).

Overview

The lecture includes:
  • Lecture 1 (MF): Diagnostic Imaging BASICS (X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear imaging including gamma probe / SPECT / PET, others) and radiation protection
  • Lecture 2 (JT): Navigation, image processing, tracking, image fusion, hybrid systems, reconstruction and registration
  • Lecture 3 (MF and/or JT): Anatomy, surgical evaluation expectations, engineering approaches, project management basics, general expectations and suggestions
  • Lecture 4 (MF and JT): Midterm presentations and individual project coaching (between lecture 3 and 4 the actual surgeries need to be visited and the surgeons asked)
  • Lecture 5 (MF or JT or Tutor): individual project coaching
  • Lecture 6 (MF and JT): Written Test, Final presentation and discussion of next steps -- Master thesis projects?
