Abstract

This project aims at developing advanced methods for robotic image acquisitions, enabling more flexible, patient- and process-specific functional and anatomical imaging with the operating theater. Using robotic manipulations, co-registered and dynamic imaging can be provided to the surgeon, allowing for optimal implementation of preoperative planning. In particular, this projects is the first one developing concepts for intraoperative SPECT-CT, and introduces intraoperative robotic Ultrasound imaging based on CT trajectory planning, enabling registration with angiographic data. With distinguished partners from Bavarian industry, this project has a fundamental contribution in developing safe, reliable, flexible, and multi-modal imaging technologies for the operating room of the future.

Detailed Project Description

German project title: Hochentwickelte Roboter für multimodale, interventionelle Bildgebung (RoBildOR). German abstract: Der Fokus dieses Projekts liegt in der Entwicklung einer Reihe von fortgeschrittenen, robotergestützten Bildgebungsverfahren, die eine flexible, patienten- und prozess-spezifische funktionale und anatomische Bildgebung im Operationssaal ermöglichen. Die robotergestützten bildgebenden Verfahren stellen dem Operateur koregistrierte, dynamische Bilder des Patienten im Operationssaal zur Verfügung und erlauben ihm so, die präoperative Planung optimal umzusetzen. Diese Daten werden durch dynamische, funktionelle und anatomische Bilder ergänzt. Insbesondere ist dies das erste Projekt, das Konzepte und Modelle für intraoperatives SPECT-CT entwickelt. Darüber hinaus wird eine über CT-Daten gesteuerte intraoperative US-Bildgebung eingeführt und deren Koregistrierung mit Angiographiebildern ermöglicht. Durch dieses Projekt wird die Voraussetzung geschaffen, dass die bayerische und deutsche Industrie potentiell führend in der Entwicklung einer multi-modalen, flexiblen, sicheren und zuverlässigen robotergestützten Bildgebung im Operations- und Interventionsraum der Zukunft ist.
