Content

Image-guided interventions are medical procedures that use computer-based systems to provide virtual image overlays to help the physician precisely visualize and target the surgical site. This field has been greatly expanded by the advances in medical imaging and computing power over the past 30 years. This course starts with a historical overview and then describes the component technologies of tracking, registration, visualization, and software. Clinical applications in neurosurgery, orthopedics, and the cardiac and thoracoabdominal areas are discussed, together with a description of an evolving technology named Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES). As the trend toward minimally invasive procedures continues, image-guided interventions will play an important role in enabling new procedures, while improving the accuracy and success of existing approaches. Despite this promise, the role of image-guided systems must be validated by clinical trials facilitated by partnerships between scientists and physicians if this field is to reach its full potential.

This semester, we have a new structure, each participant or group of two participants are required to do a survey of literature review on a selected topic, spotting the challenges, limitations and potential room for improvements. Weeks later, the participant is required to present a novel/innovative idea preferably influenced by Machine Learning to overcome/mitigate the challenges and limitations. Note: The students are not required to implement this idea, however, this could be a good starting point for any potential collaboration with CAMP in terms of IDP, BA or MA thesis.

Literature Review Report/Presentation

Each participant/group of two participants is/are required to prepare a survey of the literature review and present it in 30 mins to the participants. Report together with a presentation are required.

Free-Style Presentation

Each participant is required to give a 15 min free-style presentation about the selected topic and his innovative idea of employing Machine Learning in this area.

Material

• Presentation Template

• LaTeX Report Template

Schedule

The seminar starts with an introduction meeting. Each topic will shortly be presented in this meeting. Participants are free to choose one of these topics as own assignment (this option is via until a defined deadline). Otherwise, topics will be randomly assigned.
