Abstract
Computer science is playing an important, increasing role in medical practices. Medical imaging companies are no more asked by physicians to only produce images of anatomy. Instead, they are asked to design software and hardware systems to provide complex computer-aided solutions for diagnosis, intervention and therapy. There are more and more opportunities for computer science graduates to contribute to the development and deployment of medical solutions. Within the operating rooms, there is an increasing need for the integration and visualization of heterogeneous data acquired by numerous sensors.
This course on computer aided medical procedures exposes the students to the challenges of building the operating rooms of the future. The main focus of the course is in imaging technologies especially intra-operative imaging as well as the visualization of this data. Techniques like segmentation and registration will be explained in various classes.
There will be invited guests from the hospital Rechts der Isar and also medical companies in the classes. They will talk about the physical properties and the clinical use of the different modalitries and techniques. The invited guests will be announced in the course schedule below.
Here is a rough overview of the topics that were presented in last year's lecture:
- Introduction
- Computer-Aided Surgery and Exemplary Applications
- Image Processing and Segmentation
- Registration
- Basics of Tracking Technologies
- Visualization and Medical Augmented Reality
- Surgical Workflow - Analysis, Monitoring and Applications
- Basics of Radiography (X-Ray, CT etc.) - Physical Properties, Applications, Radiation Therapy
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Basics, Advanced MRI and Applications
- Ultrasound Imaging
- Nuclear Medicine (PET/SPECT)
For a more detailed overview, see
last year's lecture.
Prerequisites:
- Interest in medical image processing
Benefits:
- Knowledge in medical image acquisition / image modalities
- Deep insight into medical image computing
This lecture is going to be succeeded by "Computer Aided Medical Procedures II"
(see SS08 CAMP 2 lecture page) (2+2 SWS, 6 ECTS) in the next summer term (which is recommended, but not obligatory).

Alternatively, you can write an email to
Nicolas Brieu providing information about your name, email address, matriculation number, semester, and lectures your are attending at this chair (CAMP, 3DCV). Please use the following line as the subject:
"[Teaching][CAMP] Registration for CAMP". We will send you a confirmation email - in case you do not receive any confirmation email within approximately one week, please contact us again. Your registration is not binding but enables us to send you information about changes in schedule in the future.
Course Schedule
A password is needed to access the lecture slides. This will be announced in the first lecture.
Field Trips
Within the CAMP lecture, we try to bring students into contact with industrial leaders providing computer-aided medical systems and software. Last year, we were able to provide two field trips, which we plan to arrange for this lecture as well.
Siemens AG Healthcare
Date:
Thu, Nov 5, 2009
There will be a one-day field trip to
Siemens AG Healthcare in Forchheim and Erlangen. A bus will be provided, bringing students from TUM Garching to the Siemens sites and back. The two Siemens sites serve as research and production sites for CT (Computed Tomography), AX (Angiography / X-Ray), MR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and SP (Special Products).
Preliminary schedule:
- 06:45 sharp: Meet at the Garching parking lot
- 07:00 - 09:00: Transfer to Siemens CT/AX, Forchheim
- 09:15 - 10:45: Visit of CT (Computed Tomography)
- CT physics, reconstruction and applications
- Visit of the final assembly and testing bays
- 10:50 - 12:15: Visit of AX (Angiography / X-Ray)
- Angiography / X-ray systems (Alois Nöttling)
- Demonstration of angiography / X-ray systems
- Visit of the assembly and testing bays
- 12:20 - 13:30: Lunch break at Siemens AX, then transfer to Siemens MR/SP
- 13:45 - 15:30: Visit of MR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- Physics and applications of MR
- Visit of the production line
- Demo of a regular and functional MR session
- 15:35 - 16:45: Visit of SP (Special Products)
- Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (Anna Jerebko, PhD)
- 17:00-19:00 Return transfer to Garching
Registration:
- The field trip is free of charge.
- To confirm the registration, a 10 Euros deposit is needed. It will be given back in the bus to Siemens.
BrainLab AG
Date:
Tue, Jan 12, 2010
There will be a half-day field trip to
BrainLAB AG. BrainLAB provides advanced radiotherapy, radiosurgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic and ENT surgery products, services, and software solutions worldwide.
Students of the Biomedical Computing Master program are supposed to take part in another, but identical trip to BrainLAB with the lecture "Computer Assisted Trauma Surgery" on Jan 8 instead of this trip here!
We will meet directly at BrainLAB at
12:45pm sharp. We cannot provide a bus for this field trip, so you have to get there by yourselves (you can share cars or go by public transport). The address is BrainLAB AG,
Kapellenstr. 12, 85622 Feldkirchen. For directions to BrainLAB have look at
this instructions on the BrainLAB website.
Preliminary schedule:
- 12:45 sharp: Meet at BrainLAB
- 13:00 - 14:00: Company Tour
- 14:00 - 15:00: Presentation: Oncology (Registration of Volume Data Sets)
- 15:00 - 15:30: Coffee Break
- 15:30 - 16:30: Product Presentation Ortho
- 16:30 - open end: Questions
Registration:
- Registration at the lecture, where we collect a signature and the deposit (see below) from you.
- The field trip is free of charge.
- To confirm the registration, a 10 Euros deposit is needed. It will be given back at the meeting point at BrainLAB.
NARVIS
Date:
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Time: 3pm
Meeting point: Directly at
NARVIS-Lab.
Follow the Narvis sign and/or these indications:
- After entering the building (Nussbaumstr. 20) use the staircase on the left side. At the staircase you will find signs leading you to the lab
- Inside the building look for Station 3, which is in the second floor. In the same floor you'll find the Narvis room (C2.06)
Visit: The visit will be done by
Christoph Bichlmeier and
Lejing Wang
