headline-marker Steffen Oeltze Jafra ist neuer DPM – Nachwuchsgruppenleiter

Oeltze-Jafra

August 04, 2016

Dr.-Ing. Steffen Oeltze-Jafra has been leading the research group ‘Digital Patient-and Process Model’ since July 2016. The engineer changed from the Department of Simulation and Graphics at Magdeburg’s University to ICCAS. There, he worked in the Visualization Group. Oeltze-Jafra Oeltze-Jafra developed approaches for the analysis and visualization of complex image, simulation, and other non-image data from CT, MR, and Ultrasound imaging, Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, and population studies. His special field is the coupling of automatic analysis techniques and interactive visualizations. There, he already gained experiences in the fields of clinical medicine, epidemiology and biology.

The new group leader is not a blank sheet at ICCAS. He already worked in cooperation with ICCAS and the Leipzig University Hospital for a project regarding the evaluation of intraoperative 3D-ultrasound perfusion imaging. For Oeltze-Jafra ICCAS’s excellent infrastructure and its practical research were main reasons of the change. But not least, his expertise in visualization fits perfect in the next research steps on the Digital Patient Model. The analysis and visualization of the huge amount of heterogeneous data per patient generated along his or her clinical pathway is a big challenge for him.

Oeltze-Jafra can easily imagine that in the future patient- and disease-specific models will advise physicians the best therapy options. Medics receive a valid support on therapy decisions based on funded scientific data. Furthermore, patients better understand the ways of treatment and are more closely involved in the therapy process.

The ICCAS-team welcomes Mr. Oeltze-Jafra and looks forward to a successful teamwork.

01.07.2016

Das ICCAS führte am 28.06.2016 erste Gespräche mit Wissenschaftlern des „Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institutes of Medical Sciences (SGPGI)“ zu einer möglichen Kooperation im Rahmen des Telemedizin Programmes der zugehörigen „School of Telemedicine & Biomedical Informatics“. Die Gäste aus Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (Indien) besichtigten die Technik im Demo-Operationssaal  und informierten sich über Infrastruktur sowie Vernetzungsmöglichkeiten in Operationssälen. Ziel der Initiative sind Lösungen für eine kostengünstige und flächendeckende medizinische Versorgung der Patienten in Indien.

Das SGPGI ist ein universitäres Bildungsinstitut für die postgraduale medizinische Weiterbildung in Indien.  Es ist an eine der bedeutendsten Kliniken des Landes gekoppelt.

Mario Cypko moderiert den YINS Workshop

01.07.2016

Der 30. Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) – Kongress lud in diesem Jahr vom 21.-25. Juni in die Heidelberger Stadthalle ein. Das ICCAS war mit zahlreichen Beiträgen vertreten. Die Wissenschaftler stellten die neuesten Projektentwicklungen in Vorträgen, Workshops und auf Postern vor. Zudem gestaltete das ICCAS die Young Investigator Networking Session (YINS), in der Junior- und Seniorforscher zusammentrafen.

Viel positives Feedback gab es für das ICCAS hinsichtlich der Forschungserfolge zu standardisierten Vernetzungen im Operationssaal. Weiterhin interessierte sich die internationale Community sehr für die Themenbereiche IHE Surgery, Workflow und Digitales Patientenmodell, in denen das ICCAS federführend ist. Die Forschungsthemen förderten angeregte Diskussionen zwischen Medizinern und Technikern.

Präsentationen:

  • Konzepte für IHE Integrationsprofile zur Kommunikation von probabilistisch-graphischen Modellen (M. A. Cypko, H. U. Lemke)
  • Synergismen von Ultraschall und Magnetresonanztomographie in der Interventionellen Radiologie (A. Melzer)
  • Integrierte Patientenversorgung mit IHE, pre-, intra- und postoperativ (M. A. Cypko)
  • Standardisierte semantische Modellierung von chirurgischen Workflows (J. Neumann, E. Schreiber, T. Neumuth)
  • Entwicklung einer Metrik für die Klassifikationen und Visualisierung von Tumoren (K. Birnbaum).
  • Enabling Innovation – Resultate des Deutschen Leuchtturmprojektes OR.NET (T. Neumuth)

headline-marker Bunte Bilder in 3D zur Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften

June 27, 2016

During the long night of sciences visitors could visualize their temperature spectra of the skin at the ICCAS boost in the BBZ. A 3D-thermal camera delivered colored portraits of the visitors, which were following analyzed in the computer. Especially children were excited about their colorful images. On this midsummer evening the red shades dominated.

Infrared thermography is a noninvasive, contactless and user-friendly imaging technique. The method is suitable in medicine for the determination of appropriate skin transplants in plastic surgery. The ICCAS researchers proved the effectivity of this investigation procedure.

headline-marker ICCAS Open Days beeindruckten Besucher

June 22, 2016

On June 20 and 21, ICCAS opened the doors to provide interested parties an insight into its research developments, especially in the future operating room. The many visitors from different medical fields were impressed by the technical progress which already marks the future of computer aided assistances in the operating room. Some of them used the chance to test the highly innovative technology themselves.

Furthermore, the ICCAS-guests were amazed by the spectrum of scientific themes. Thus, the researchers depicted further project developments, such as the digital patient model – a support system for patient-specific therapy decisions, the Cephalens – an assistance system for the minimally invasive neurosurgery and infrared thermography for applications in plastic surgery.

ICCAS thanks all guests for their interest, exchange and activity and looks forward to meeting again.
