headline-marker ICCAS shows HSI application at “Innovationstag Mittelstand”

At today’s “Innovationstag Mittelstand” of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), Dr. Claire Chalopin and Hannes Köhler will join the exhibition. The two scientists show a hyperspectral imaging system developed in cooperation with physicians from Leipzig University Hospital and the Dispective Vision GmbH. The system enables non-invasive measurements of cutaneous perfusion and surface moisture. The aim of this procedure is to detect patient status information during surgery.

headline-marker Girls’ Day at ICCAS

Early practice for those who want to find their dream job. On March 28, 12 girls of the 8th and 9th grades visited stations of the University Medicine in order to especially experience professions in medical informatics. At the ICCAS, the schoolgirls could try out for themselves what the women scientists are currently researching in medical technology. They were able to simulate a heart muscle biopsy on a 3D heart model. In addition, a robot arm was controlled for a minimally invasive procedure. At a third station, the girls could use a thermal imaging camera to find out the different temperature of their facial skin.

headline-marker Leipzig University invited regional companies and municipalities to the FMT-TransferMeeting at ICCAS

In the afternoon of March 5, Prof. Dr. Thomas Lenk, Prorector for Development and Transfer at Leipzig University and the Leipzig Chamber of Commerce and Industry invited to the Future Med Technologies (FMT)-TransferMeeting at ICCAS. In front of representatives of regional companies, local municiplaities and science, he emphazised that the bridge between science and industry is already lived par excellence at ICCAS. The guests gathered to explore the ICCAS projects and common interests.

Current research projects were presented in live demos. They ranged from software solutions such as the digital patient and therapy decision model over transfer projects such as the joint project IMPACT for the development of a mobile system for lung function diagnostics to comprehensive digital assistants in the operating room of the future. Other exhibits included multimodal intraoperative imaging procedures, medical robotics and computer-assisted image-guided interventions. At the subsequent get-together a lively exchange took place and contacts were made.
