Hauptseminar/Master Seminar:
Innovations in Medical Robotics

Prof. Nassir Navab, Dr. Benjamin Frisch, Oliver Zettinig, Christoph Hennersperger

Type: Master Seminar Module IN2107
SWS: 2+0
ECTS: 4 Credits
Course Language: English

Content

In traditional surgery, the outcome of the procedure depends entirely on the skills of the physicians and nurses. Today, interventional imaging and surgical robots support them, with the main goal of improving patient safety. We need to overcome many challenges, including spatial constraints in the OR as well as the desire for minimally invasive procedures. The daVinci(R) robot, in use for many years to support laparoscopic surgery and the Siemens zeego(R), that provides interventional CT, are only two examples of many technologies already deployed or under current research. This seminar course focuses on current research topics in the field of medical robotics, both for surgery and interventional imaging.

The seminar will cover:

  • Robotic imaging (ultrasound, cone-beam CT etc.)
  • Lightweight surgical robotic systems
  • Automatic organ and tool tracking
  • Motion compensation
  • Visual servoing
  • Etc.

Regulations

In this Master Seminar (formerly Hauptseminar), each student is asked to select one paper from a list. In order to successfully complete the seminar, participants have to fulfill these requirements - all three will influence the final grade:

  • Presentation: The selected paper is presented to the other participants (20 minutes presentation, 10 minutes questions). Use the CAMP templates for PowerPoint  CAMPmaster.pot, or Latex:  CAMP-latex-template.zip.
  • Written Report: A document of maximum 8 pages is written and submitted one week after the presentation. Please download and use the  CAMP Seminar Latex template. Alternatively, you can also use the LNCS Latex template llncs2e.zip directly from the Springer website.
  • Attendance: Participants have to participate actively in all seminar sessions.

Each presentation is followed by a discussion and everyone is encouraged to actively participate. The report must include all references used and must be written completely in your own words. Copy and paste will not be tolerated. Both report and presentation have to be done in English.

Schedule

The seminar consists of a preliminary meeting, an introductory meeting and seminar sessions. Each of the sessions will consist of several student presentations. All seminar participants are expected to be present at every session and to actively participate in the discussion.

Some further hints for working with references:

  • JabRef is a Java program for comfortable working with Bibtex literature databases. Handy feature: if you know the PubMed ID for an article, JabRef can import data from there (via "Web Search/Medline").
  • Mendeley is a cross-platform program for organising your references.

If you find useful resources that are not already listed here, please tell us, so we can add them for others. Thanks.
