Computer Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP) - IN2021
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?.

- short break
- 15:25-16:10 Nuclear Medicine: Cyclotron + PET Machine, PET data analysis
- 16:20-17:05 Radiation Therapy: Linac, Tomotherapy, Treatment planning
- 17:15-18:00 Radiology
Registration:
- The field trip is free of charge, but the number of persons is limited.
- To confirm the registration, a 10 Euros deposit is needed. It will be given back at the meeting point at Nuclear Medicine.
BrainLab AG
Date: Thu, Jan 20 2011
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" 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.
Schedule
Registration:
