Hauptseminar: Recent Advances in Computer Assisted Surgery

Nassir Navab, Marco Feuerstein, Jörg Traub, Sandro-Michael Heining, and Ekkehard Euler

SWS: 2+0
ECTS: 4 Credits
Time/Location: Thursdays, 17:00h to 19:00h, Chirurgische Klinik und Poliklinik Innenstadt, NARVIS Lab, 094 (How to come to the NARVIS LAB, Tel.: +49 89 5160 3615)
The course language is English.

The seminar's participants will get a comprehensive insight into the latest developments and advances of computer assisted surgery. Several cutting-edge categories such as segmentation, registration, robotics, simulation and rendering, as well as interventional imaging applied in orthopaedic, cardiac, abdominal, and other applications will be covered. The talks will be based on the latest proceedings of medical and computer science conferences.
This is a joint seminar between Klinikum Innenstadt and the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures & Augmented Reality.

Registration

Please send an email to Marco Feuerstein(), including your favorite topic.

Introduction

The topics of the seminar will cover a selection of outstanding and interesting papers of recent proceedings of important medical and computational conferences such as MICCAI - Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention. For a list of all available topics, please refer to Literature.
