headline-marker Visitors explore the OR of the Future at university open day

On December 2, visitors flocked to ICCAS on ‘Dies academicus’, the 607th anniversary of the foundation of Leipzig University. Guided tours of the operating room of the future were organized. Alongside staff and students from the university, many prospective students seized this opportunity to learn about the technology of this fully networked demo OR and how it works.

Visitors were also invited to try their hand at surgery on a phantom. In addition, computer scientist Max Rockstroh from ICCAS give a talk in the main lecture hall at the study center at Liebigstrasse 27 entitled ‘The Operating Room as Part of the Team – or How We’re Teaching the OR to Think’. We would like to thank all our visitors for taking the time to come and see us!

MEDICA, the world’s biggest trade show for the medical industry, was held in Düsseldorf from November 14 to 17. The main topic this year was the digitalization of the healthcare sector and the networking of all those involved in the treatment process. ICCAS showcased its activities to visitors at its own display on the joint booth ‘Research for the Future’. Researchers from ICCAS explained aspects of the smart OR of the Future, a mobile version of the networked demonstrator OR set up at ICCAS in Leipzig. Visitors were able to explore the advantages for themselves by conducting endoscopy on a phantom. We would like to thank the University of Magdeburg for its excellent preparation and organization of the joint booth ‘Research for the Future’!

As part of the appointment of the Faculty Council on Oct. 25, Sandra von Sachsen was awarded the PhD thesis prize of the Medical Faculty Leipzig. The prize is given annually by the Dean for excellent achievements in the fields of Medicine and Dentistry.

Von Sachsen completed her doctorate on ‘Employment of numerical simulations for the comparison of stent grafts in vascular medicine. Use potential, requirement specification and man-machine interface’. The focus of her doctoral work is a simulation-based selection of vascular prostheses for the endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. For the identification of the method’s use potential a user study throughout Germany with 16 clinics was performed for the first time.

Computer scientist Mario Cypko organized this year’s Young Investigator Networking (YINS) session of the International Society for Computer Aided Surgery. The international non-profit-association pursues the goal of advancing new technologies and research activities in the area of computer-assisted surgery. The characteristic of the YINS session is its presentation format which addresses young researchers. Here, they can present themselves their profile and scientific ideas to senior researchers and industry representatives in a relaxed atmosphere. This simplifies establishing contacts within this research sector.

headline-marker ICCAS im Technischen Komitee der IHE Surgery – Domäne

Oct. 25, 2016

Since August 2016, ICCAS is an official member of the ‘Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise’ (IHE) Initiative. The initiative is intended to improve interoparablity in the health care sector. It is organized in domains. ICCAS is mainly active in the ‘Surgery’ domain. In each domain IHE-profiles are assigned to specific problems. The profiles define which people and activities may be necessary for the problem-solving and which existing standards are used. ICCAS computer scientist Erik Schreiber has been recently appointed to the Technical Committee of the ‘Surgery’ domain. The Committee primarily examines new profile proposals. Erik Schreiber also works on profiles.
