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.
On September 1, 2013, Dr. Christian Hansen moved to the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg. There, he takes the role of junior professor for computer-assisted surgery at the Institute for Simulation and Graphics in the Department of Computer Science at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg as part of STIMULATE, the new research campus for medical technology. STIMULATE stands for Solution … Read more
Our submissions “Auditory Support for Navigated Radiofrequency Ablation” (authors: David Black, Jumana Al Issawi, Christian Hansen, Christian Rieder, Horst Hahn) and “Interactive Segmentation of Vascular Structures in CT Images for Liver Surgery Planning” (authors: Lei Wang, Christian Hansen, Stephan Zidowitz, Horst Hahn) were accepted for publication in the proceedings of the CURAC, the annual meeting … Read more
