The Forschungscampus STIMULATE and the INKA project are represented with six scientific contributions at the International Congress of Computer-Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) from June 24 to 27, 2015 in Barcelona. Furthermore, the program committee selected the papers of STIMULATE PhD students Thomas Hoffmann and André Mewes for publication in the “International Journal of Computer-Assisted Radiology and Surgery“. The CARS is one … Read more
Our group moved to a new research laboratory! The lab is provided by the research campus STIMULATE and is directly located in the ExFa building close to the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. Our new lab allows larger experimental setups compared to our old lab. We received additional space and new medical devices to perform clinical user studies in the … Read more
We welcome Mengfei Li in our group. Mengfei started his PhD in 2012 at the chair of Healthcare Telematics and Medical Engineering (headed by Prof. Georg Rose). Prior to that, he studied Electrical Engineering at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. In the future, Mengfei will continue his research in in the field of EM-tracking and minimal-invasive … Read more

The grant in the amount of €2500 should help to initiate a collaboration with the ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research of the University Bern as well as the Inselspital Bern. The CURAC Mobility Grant was awarded during the 13th CURAC annual … Read more
After a successful 1-year test phase, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) decided to support the Research Campus STIMULATE for another period of 5 years. This is a great success for the STIMULATE team headed by Prof. Georg Rose. STIMULATE stands for Solution Centre for Image Guided Local Therapies. In the future, technologies … Read more
André Mewes was selected for a 3-year scholarship from the SAP University Competence Center (UCC). He recently graduated with distinction in the field of mechatronics. His Master’s thesis focused on medical augmented reality during radiological interventions. André will join the CAS group as a PhD candidate in the beginning of June 2014.
Alena Kathrin-Schnurr and Anneke Meyer, both students of Computational Visualistics in Magdeburg, joined the CAS team in April 2014. They will work in a new research project in the field of interventional planning in strong collaboration with the ARTORG Center in Bern, Switzerland.
In February 2014, we are planning an excursion to BrainLab. BrainLab is located close to Munich and is one of the leading companies in the field of computer-assisted surgery. Interested students should contact Rocco Gasteiger (http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/isg/gasteiger.html) for more information.
Our journal paper “Impact of model-based risk analysis for liver surgery planning” (authors: C. Hansen, S. Zidowitz, B. Preim, G. Stavrou, K. J. Oldhafer, H. K. Hahn) was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (IJCARS). The paper describes an evaluation of a model-based risk analysis for oncologic liver surgery.
Our paper “Segmentation and separation of venous vasculatures in liver CT images” (authors: Lei Wang, Christian Hansen, Stephan Zidowitz, Horst Hahn) was accepted for oral presentation at “Computer-Aided Diagnosis”. This conference is part of the SPIE Medical Imaging conference which will be held 16-20 February 2014 in San Diego, California USA.
