Hauptseminar/Master Seminar:
Innovations in Robotic Imaging
Prof. Nassir Navab, Marco Esposito, Dr. Benjamin Frisch, Christoph Hennersperger
Type: Master Seminar Module IN2107SWS: 2
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 robotic medical imaging, both for diagnostic and interventional imaging. The seminar will cover:- Interventional imaging (ultrasound, cone-beam CT, SPECT, MRI etc.)
- Robot Control
- Augmented and virtual reality
- Etc.
Announcements
- [27.04.2015] The assignment of the papers is complete and is made public on the website.
- [22.04.2015] The list of papers is made available on the website. Please communicate your three preferred papers per email until Sunday 26th.
- [15.01.2015] There will be a short preliminary meeting on Wednesday 28th of January at 10AM in 03.13.010. The list of papers will be made available after the introductory meeting in spring.
Registration
- TUM students: Registration is only possible using the new matching system linked in TUMonline. You will be notified by email (Informatics faculty) how the new system works.
- Exchange students without TUMonline account: Please send a nice mail to Marco Esposito () to indicate that you want to participate, including your name, your birthday, program of study and Matrikelnummer (if you already have one). We will then enroll you in the course, given you match the requirements (Master's student).
- Maximum number of participants: 15
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 (15 minutes presentation, 10 minutes questions). Use the CAMP templates for PowerPoint
camp-tum-jhu-slides.potx, 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.
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.List of Papers
Papers are assigned in a first-come, first-serve manner. Please send a list of three paper titles to Marco Esposito () between Wednesday 22nd of April and Sunday 26th, we will try to satisfy everyone's preferences. After Monday 27th, or if all your choices are already taken, random paper attribution will take place.Literature and Helpful Links
