ICCAS mit eigener Session auf der CARS 2015
10 June 2015
In addition to the presentation of research lectures and -posters ICCAS will organize an own session at this year’s Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery-Congress (CARS 2015). There, ICCAS will present its latest research findings and perspectives to important aspects of computer assisted surgery and clinical decision support. The opening theme of this event will be the advantages of harnessing computer assisted technologies explained using the example of Laryngeal Carcinoma. Visitors of CARS are cordially invited to attend the one-hour program on Saturday, 27 June 2015, at 1pm, in Room Berlin, Hotel NH Collection Barcelona Constanza.
Program ICCAS-CARS-Session
ICCAS at CARS 2015
At this session, we would like to arouse the interest in finding out more about this and other aspects of computer-assisted surgery. Our Digital Operating Room Summer School will feature fascinating presentations, workshops, discussions and insights into the methods employed in state-of-the-art operating theaters as well as the latest trends and prospects of clinical decision-making and workflow support.

Schülerinnen besuchten am Girls’ Day das ICCAS
29 April 2015
This year, female pupils from the 8th and 9th grades sampled research atmosphere in medical informatics. After the girls had explored areas of activity and fields of work at the Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Epidemiology and the Leipzig University Hospital scientists of ICCAS welcomed them to an experimental afternoon. The pupils got the possibility to put their hands on medical assistant systems such as an ultrasonic device for measuring the blood flow rate in vessels, an endoscope for secure spine surgery and a milling machine for temporal bone operations. Moreover, the girls gazed at the “Magic Lens” – a concept for the display of anatomical structures inside the skull – and a thermal imaging camera for measuring the temperature of skin areas for plastic surgery.
Fewest of the 11 schoolgirls have now a precise idea of their later choice of occupation. They were very pleased with the chance to look behind the scenes of sciences and research and to ask their questions about typical male occupations.

ICCAS-Beiträge auf der ConhIT 2015
Auf der diesjährigen Satellitenveranstaltung von GMDS und BVMI sowie auf der anschließenden Connecting Healthcare IT (ConhIT) unterbreiteten Wissenschaftler aus den Projekten Digitales Patienten- und Prozess Modell (DPM) sowie Sichere dynamische Vernetzung in Operationssaal und Klinik (OR.NET) ihre aktuellen Forschungsergebnisse einem umfangreichen Fachpublikum.
DPM-Nachwuchsgruppenleiterin Dr. Kerstin Denecke stellte in einem Satellitenworkshop der Fachmesse die Idee, Motivation und Methodik des Digitalen Patientenmodells vor. Mit großem Interesse diskutierten Teilnehmer die sich darin befindliche innovative Idee der wissensbasierten Systeme in der Medizin.
Beim öffentlichen Statusmeeting zum Verbundprojekt OR.Net sprach Max Rockstroh über den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand des Teilprojektes 6 – Demonstratoren im OR.Net, an dem das ICCAS maßgeblich beteiligt ist. Zudem präsentierten die Wissenschaftler einen Demonstrator, mit dem eine herstellerübergreifende Interaktion zwischen Medizingeräten möglich ist. Besucher bewerteten die Projektneuheiten sehr positiv, was sich in Diskussionen über die technische Umsetzung, das Risikomanagement und die Zulassung eines solchen dynamisch vernetzten Systems niederschlug.

Professor Andreas Melzer und Doktor Kerstin Denecke – zwei Forscherporträts
13. April 2015
Im aktuellen Mitarbeitermagazin der Universitätsmedizin Leipzig berichten ICCAS-Direktor Prof. Andreas Melzer und DPM-Nachwuchsgruppenleiterin Dr. Kerstin Denecke über ihr wissenschaftliches Wirken an den Schnittstellen zwischen Radiologie – Chirurgie bzw. Informatik – Chirurgie. Die interessanten Forscherportraits bringen dem Leser zudem Visionen und eine persönliche Seite der beiden Wissenschaftler nahe.
GIRLS‘ DAY 2015 im ICCAS
13 April 2015
Together with the Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Epidemiology (IMISE) and the Leipzig University Hospital, ICCAS is this year again preparing for Girls’ Day. On 25th April 2015 primarily ICCAS’s female researchers will provide insights into the world of medical engineering and information technology. The girls expect a practical program where they will get the possibility to test surgical assistant devices at phantom skulls in ICCAS’s state of the art Demo-OR.
The events of the world’s largest professional guidance project for pupils should arouse interests and qualities for technical and scientific professions in which female employees are rarely represented. ICCAS’s researchers hope to encourage the girls and will answer burning questions on their future career choice.

BVM-Award für Dr. Frank Heckel
Dr. Frank Heckel received the BVM-AWARD 2015 for his outstanding dissertation at this year’s workshop on Image Processing for Medicine (BVM) in Lübeck. Before the award ceremony the guest researcher from Fraunhofer MEVIS presented essential results of his doctoral thesis on reproducible volumetric measurement of tumors in computer tomography data. The methods support radiologists in assessing the effect of chemotherapy.
This is already the second prize for Heckel’s dissertation „Sketch-Based Interactive Segmentation and Segmentation Editing for Oncological Therapy Monitoring“. Last year in September his was a winner of the MedVis-Award.

Posterbeitrag auf der SPIE Medical Imaging 2015 in Orlando (USA)
16 March 2015
Bernhard Glaser (MAI) informed with a poster presentation his scientific work on multi-sensor identification of surgical instruments at this year’s SPIE Medical Imaging Conference. Visitors was given an insight into the computer scientist’s current research results on the recognition of surgical instruments at the instrument tray and especially on their quality and similarity metrics. The resonance was very good. There were diverse discussions and valuable proposals.
Visitors of the SPIE Medical Imaging can obtain latest information about worldwide developments in the fields of digital image processing, computer-aided diagnosis and therapy as well as new investigative procedures. Topics such as Big Data connected with Cloud Computing und Machine Learning were widely represented.
