Announcements
- [7.10.2018] Info on the seminar and on how to select topics will be given on Wednesday 17.10.2018, 1300h, at the IMETUM/GSB in room 1.211., additional info is here: Slides.
Content
Many clinical imaging sequences include image modalities that provide unique insights into the human body: describing blood flow pattern or water diffusion, visualizing micro-structural tissue properties, or quantifying metabolic processes that have been found to be relevant for specific diseases. To access and explore the rich biological information of such multimodal CT, PET, and MR image data sets, different approaches from biophysical modeling and computational physiology are used.
The topic of this seminar is to survey such computational models by reading, discussing and understanding key publications in this field, for example, on:
- spatial atlases that encode the variation of anatomy throughout the population in a probabilistic fashion,
- dynamical models that describe blood flow patterns in MR and CT, or the the dynamics of metabolic pathways as measured via PET,
- spatio-temporal models that describe cardiac electro-physiological excitations, or the growth patterns of tumors,
- global probabilistic models that relate image features with clinical information or genetic variables.
Emphasis is put on improving presentation style. All presenters will present their talk twice during the course of the semester, and after the first time the group discussion will focus on presentation style.
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:
- 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. All papers will be presented at two occasions. After the first presentation we will discuss presentation and presentation style, after the second presentation we will discuss the research topic of the paper.
- Written Handout: A document of 4-8 pages is written and is distributed to the other seminar attendees two days before the presentation (i.e., on the Monday morning before the final presentation). Please download and use the llncs2e.zip Latex template. It can be edited and updated following comments in the final presentation.
- 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 handout must include all references used and should be your own review of the paper (don't copy & paste). Both handout and presentation will have to be in English. It can follow the structure of the presentation: Intro (incl. statement of the problem, prior work, contribution of the present work), Methods (previously existing and improvements), Experiments (data and results), Conclusion / Summary.
Schedule
The seminar consists of 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.
