Two new projects have launched at ICCAS. Already in September, the BMBF-funded joint project “Cooperative immersive assistance system for minimally invasive surgery – COMPASS” started, in which ICCAS and several partners from science, clinic and industry develop an artificial navigation awareness for the intelligent support of minimally invasive endoscopic navigation.

On October 9th, the kick off of the BMBF-funded KMU-innovativ project “Innovative imaging for tissue differentiation in minimally invasive surgery – LYSiS” took place at ICCAS. In this project, ICCAS in cooperation with Diaspective Vision GmbH and the Clinic and Polyclinic for Visceral, Transplantation, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery is researching on a computer-assisted method for the automatic characterization, recognition and presentation of tissue from intraoperative hyperspectral imaging data.
