User Interface Development and Evaluation of a Navigation System for Bronchoscopy
IDP with minor medicine or SEP
The user interface of the first working prototype. The current location of the bronchoscope instrument is visualized as crosshair in the axial, sagittal, and frontal view of the patient. The right bottom is a 3D visualization providing an overview for registration and navigation.
Description:
Extension of the existing navigation software and user interface and clinical experiments (for more details see abstract below or live demo at Klinikum rechts der Isar).
Requirements:
Basic knowledge of C++ required. Knowledge of OpenGL and QT is of advantage.
If you are interested in this project, please send an email to Joerg Traub (). Alternative projects in the field of medical navigation systems and augmented reality visualization are available on request.

| Title: | User Interface Development and Evaluation of a Navigation System for Bronchoscopy |
| Abstract: | In bronchoscopy a physician examines the bronchial tree of a patient with a camera and medical instruments. To access regions outside the view of the camera, the only feedback of the position of the instrument is x-ray imaging. In these x-ray images the final lesion is not visible. The preoperative CT scan plus a electromagnetical tracking device is used to provide feedback of the current instrument location in real time. The work will be conducted in the pneumology department of the Klinikum rechts der Isar, Max-Weber-Platz. A first fully functional and tested prototype was developed by JulianMuch based on the software framework CAMPAR. This software is based on C++, OpenGL and QT. The work will be in refining the user interface for navigation purposes and conduct together with Dr. Hautmann clinical experiments. |
