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 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 Intra-operative imaging and visualization exposes the students to the challenges of building the operating rooms of future. The main focus of the course is in imaging technologies especially intra-operative imaging as well as the visualization of this data.

The will be invited guests for the hospital Rechts der Isar in the Thursday class. They will talk about the physical properties and the clinical use of the different modalitries and techniques. The invited guests will be announced soon.
