About the course

Offered at the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP), Technical University of Munich, under Prof. Nassir Navab, with Shadi Albarqouni as tutor and course organiser.

Image-guided interventions are medical procedures that use computer-based systems to provide virtual image overlays, helping the physician to visualise and target the surgical site precisely. The seminar starts with a historical overview and covers the component technologies of tracking, registration, visualisation and software, with clinical applications in neurosurgery, orthopaedics, and the cardiac and thoraco-abdominal areas.

In SS 2016 each participant, or pair of participants, surveyed the literature on a selected topic, identified its challenges and limitations, and then presented a novel idea, preferably based on machine learning, to address them.
