Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Application oriented course that starts at the actual medical application (with an interface to the department at a hospital) with limited technical background, then goes back to the theory of medical imaging and navigation in order to finally being able to apply this newly acquired knowledge for the creation of innovative approaches in medical imaging and image guided interventions.
Lecture:
"Basics of selected medical applications in surgery and interventional radiology
"Basics of intra-operative imaging and navigation
"Critical analysis of existing interventional imaging and minimal invasive surgery procedures and identification of innovation potential using knowledge of preoperative, diagnostic imaging and interventional navigation techniques.
1.How is the procedure performed at the moment?
2.How is the procedure and associated data recorded and how is the outcome of the procedure documented?
3.How are data/information presented and how is the user interaction?
4.Which tools are used?
5.What is the workflow and the surgical process model?
6.Can the procedure (inlcuding patient and therapy logistics) be improved using imaging and navigation and their correct representation (quality assurance, safety, speed, ...)?
Project Assignments (3-4 Assignments in team with 3-5 students each):
"Finding an idea, description of the medical application and clinical challange as well as description of the planned project
"Draft of a project plan and analysis of the feasibility
"implementation of a functional prototype and presentation (including a written project plan with max. 15 pages)

Learning Outcome
Participants learn the basics of medical applications in minimally invasive image guided surgery and related hybrid imaging. They gain the knowledge to understand the complex medical environment as well as its challenges in order to improve these procedures (including logistics and imaging in the operating theatre of the future). With knowledge about technology and algorithm they can model and master complex solutions. Besides the medical and technical knowledge, definition of clinical, technical projects in the field of intra operative imaging and navigation for minimal invasive surgery is the core focus during the course. Exposure to real world problems makes this a unique setup for modeling and implementing creative solutions.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
Type of Assessment: project work
Participants learn the basics of medical applications in minimally invasive image guided surgery and interventions. They gain the knowledge to understand the complex medical environment as well as its challenges in order to improve these procedures with the focus on clinical workflow and imaging in the operating theatre of the future. With knowledge about imaging technology and image processing algorithms participants will be able to model and master complex solutions. Besides the medical and technical knowledge, definition of clinical, technical projects in the field of intra operative imaging and navigation for minimal invasive surgery is the core focus during the course. Exposure to real world problems, observing an intervention at our clinical partner sites makes this a unique setup for modeling and implementing creative solutions to improve the care.
By the delivery of the "presentation" the ability is tested to understand a technical/scientific subject, to analyze and evaluate facts and factors of influence, to summarize the subject and present it to an audience, and to stand a discussion about the presented subject. By the written summaries, the ability is tested to summarise the major facts and the conclusion of a presentation in clear and concise manner in a 10-15 pages concept paper.
By the regular discussions the ability to develop an idea from initial thoughts to complete picture within a given timeframe and by delivering milestones.
The final grade is an averaged grade based on attendance and active participation (10%), assignments (10%), the midterm presentation (10%), the final group presentation (15%), the proposal document and project work (35%), and a written examination (60 minutes) on the technology basics (20%). In the written examination students demonstrate by answering questions under time pressure and without helping material the theoretical knowledge of medical imaging and therapy devices, health care systems as well as of the clinical workflow in the operating room.
