Open Theses and Student Projects

• HiWi position for endosonography imaging (Hiwi)
  Endosonography is a widely used imaging modality for diagnosis and intervention. Navigation systems might support both novices and experts, but a fundamental problem is tracking the endoscope tip within the patient. This project is located at our interdisciplinary laboratory IFL at university hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar. A camera and ultrasound calibration method is to be developed, which integrates into the clinical workflow. Existing methods need to be evaluated in lab and OR settings, new methods may need to be implemented and evaluated. For the tracking of the endoscope electromagnetic tracking is going to be used. Implementations exist for both camera calibration and ultrasound calibration, and phantoms for both are available. Based upon this work there will probably be opportunities for further projects in this area at CAMP, e.g. IDP or Bachelor/Master/Diploma thesis. If you are interested or if you have questions, please contact Tobias Reichl.
• Intraoperative Registration and Visualisation for NOTES (IDP)
  Natural Orifice Transluminal Surgery (NOTES) is an increasingly used surgical technique for minimally invasive procedures. Due to limited field of view and restricted motion, orientation of the endoscope can be difficult and navigation systems promise valuable support to endoscopists. In this project, a method is to be developed to register an electromagnetic tracking system with the actual patient position, and an appropriate visualisation method is to be developed. The work will be performed at university hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar, in close collaboration between the groups "Minimally invasive Interdisciplinary Therapeutical Interventions" (MITI, Prof. Feußner) and "Computer Aided Medical Procedures" (CAMP, Prof. Navab). If you are interested or if you have questions, please contact Tobias Reichl.
• If you have your own ideas for a project, just come by to talk about it.
