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.

28 June – Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften
ICCAS takes part on the first “Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften” in Leipzig on 28 June 2008
The 1st “Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften” on Saturday 28th June 2008 marks the starting point of the “Wissenschaftssommer 2008” in Leipzig.
ICCAS participates with an interactive stand and visual presentations on the “computer-assisted surgery of the future”.
The visitor will be able to virtually fly into the human body, plan brain operations and practice an intervention using real surgical instruments on patient models.
For more information on the “Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften” and the “Wissenschaftssommer 2008”, visit......

24.04.2008 – Girls' Day 2008
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.
