20.-24.09.2010 Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI 2010, China National Convention Center, Beijing, China)
The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open interfaces, interoperability, and standards for the development of computer assisted intervention systems. This topic was chosen based on overwhelming interest expressed at the "Systems and Architectures" workshop at MICCAI 2008 and 2009. The 2008 workshop focused on toolkits; in 2009 it emphasized the importance of open interfaces and standards. In 2010, we will focus on "Modularization and Standardization of CAS Systems and Frameworks". As before, this workshop will include strong participation from industry and academia.
Past Events
01.-02.07.2010 Second VCBM Workshop, Leipzig
Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine addresses the integration of state-of-the-art visualization and image analysis for application to research in biology and medicine. Integrating visualization and image analysis brings with it particular challenges, but also yields new possibilities, especially when extended for application to the wide gamut of research topics in biology and medicine, such as molecular imaging, quantitative longitudinal studies, pre- and intra-operative surgical guidance, and the diverse field of system biology.
VCBM is unique in that it will bring together researchers and practitioners from visualization, image processing and biology and medicine. We expect to attract a number of attendees with biological and medical backgrounds, as well as from the surrounding academic medical centers. This will pose a unique opportunity to showcase the latest ideas from engineering and science, to get feedback from biological and medical practitioners, and to explore new possibilities for cooperative research.
23.06.2010 Tutorial "Surgical Workflow" at CARS, Geneva Switzerland
The term "Surgical Workflow (S-WF)" is used in a variety of contexts and for different purposes, each having one thing in common: Modeling the processes in the Operating room.
The approaches to this are manifold: From human or technical observation of the surgical processes and their abstract modeling to the manual description of complex surgical cases there are different ways to acquire S-WFs. The Workflows themselves are used to answer specific clinical questions, for requirements engineering for software systems or to drive higher level clinical applications.
The tutorial gives an introduction to the field of Surgical Process Modeling and the design of Surgical Workflows. The major steps for successfully using the methodology are presented: Methods for data acquisition and modeling, the generation of surgical workflows and its application to clinical use cases. The speakers give examples from their experience in analyzing over 1000 clinical processes from various surgical domains for different purposes.

Girls' Day 2010: Medizinische Informatik für Mädchen
Der Girls' Day ist mittlerweile fester Bestandteil im Veranstaltungskalender des ICCAS. Dieses Jahr wurde 11 neugierigen Mädchen Einblick in die vielfältige Projektarbeit des Instituts gewährt. So wurden ihnen in der vor wenigen Wochen eröffneten "Surgical Planning Unit" nähergebracht, wie sich der Chirurg auf eine Operation vorbereitet: An Hand von 3D-Visualisierungen kann der Eingriff geplant und an Gipsmodellen, die mit dem 3D-Drucker erstellt werden, auch gleich simuliert und geübt werden. Insbesondere beim Vorstellen des 3D-Druckers, des Ultraschallgerätes und der Fräse hatten die Mädchen Gelegenheit selbst Hand anzulegen.
16. September 2009 ICCAS veranstaltet das „Leipziger Forum für computerassistierte Chirurgie“
Am 16. September findet im International Reference and Development Center (IRDC) das 9. Leipziger Forum zum Thema computerassistierte Chirurgie statt. Der Veranstalter, das Innovationszentrum computerassistierte Chirurgie ( ICCAS) der Universität Leipzig lädt ein zu Vorträgen und Diskussionen rund um dasThemengebiet von der bildgestützten zur modellgestützten Therapie, mit dem Hauptaugenmerk auf patientenspezifische Modelle in der Chirurgie. Vor allem minimalinvasive chirurgische Fragestellungen werden sowohl aus technischer als auch klinischer Sicht beleuchtet, aber auch IT Strukturen, Standardisierungen und praktische Beispiele aus den chirurgischen Fächern: Herzchirurgie, HNO – und Neurochirurgie werden thematisiert. Die Veranstaltung führt Wissenschaftler aus dem kanadischen Robarts Imaging Lab mit den Wissenschaftlern des Leipziger ICCAS zusammen. Diese gebündelte Expertise ist darauf ausgerichtet , gemeinsame Projekte zu initiieren und die internationale Vernetzung des ICCAS mit ähnlich ausgerichteten Instituten zu befördern.
28. September 2009 Wissensrepräsentation und Patientenmodellierung für computerassistierte Interventionen
Model-guided therapy aims at exploiting all available information, taking advantage of the increased computational power to combine, analyze and present specific patient data related to the complete health state of the subject. The goal is to build a complete model of the specific patient for the specific medical situation to offer specific therapy alternatives. The promise of such model-guided therapy is a more precise diagnosis, better prediction of outcomes, and individualized planning, performance and evaluation of interventions.
To achieve this, the availability of a patient-specific model is necessary. This patient-specific model is an organized collection of all relevant medical and clinical data. The model must be comprehensive, including all information available, but it must also be adaptable, making it possible to support specific clinical workflows. The model must also allow reasoning and must be adaptive, continually incorporating new information and knowledge.
24. September 2009 Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI 2009, Imperial College, London, UK)
The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open interfaces, interoperability, and standards for the development of computer assisted intervention systems. This topic was chosen based on overwhelming interest expressed at the "Systems and Architectures" workshop at MICCAI 2008 in New York City. The workshop will also accept related submissions, such as those describing the development or use of open source toolkits for computer assisted interventions.
22. September 2009 Design&Elektronik-Entwicklerforum "Embedded Goes Medical"
Am 22. September 2009 findet in Leipzig das erste Entwicklerforum zum Thema "Embedded Goes Medical: Embedded-System-Entwicklung für biomedizinische Geräte" statt, mit dem Ziel Entwickler von biomedizinischer Gerätetechnik oder Zulieferer von Elektroniksystemen mit Ärzten in Kontakt zu bringen.

Medical Informatics for Girls
ICCAS is contributing to the effort of motivating Girls to the Medical Informatics by giving them a breathtaking insight to applications of computer science to Medicine. Gils from or above 8. Class in Gymnasium are eligible for the event.
At first, you wil be given a short introduction on the Medical Informatics field and its applications in clinics. Then you will be taken to MRT Lab and to a clinical station of Leipzig University in order to show, how the patient care can be improved with the techniques of Informatics.
Finally you will visit the institute, "Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery", to see the research work carried on computer assisted surgical systems and some demonstrations prepared by the Researches.
