In diesem Wintersemester wird die im WiSe 2022/23 erfolgreich gestartete Vortragsreihe Medical Information Sciences fortgesetzt. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen und Forschungsstandorte geben jeden Donnerstag ab 17:30 Uhr Einblicke in aktuelle Fragestellungen und Anwendungsgebiete des breiten Forschungsfeldes Medical Information Sciences.

Our world is 3D and so is the patient. But visual camera observations are 2D. Advancements in digital imaging now enable capturing rich 3D information of our surrounding, transforming our ability to digitally perceive, present, and analyze data. By combining multiple data sources or frames in a video, we can create context-enhanced digital copies of the physical world as well as the patient - and apply data-driven interpretations and processing. Data sources reach from ceiling mounted cameras in the OR to endoscopic images or robot-mounted sensors.

In this talk, we want to look into underlying core ideas of example 3D computer vision pipelines and investage how these approaches can be used in clinical applications.

As a basis for a discussion at this exciting interdisciplinary crossroad, we dive into the subtopics 3D digital reconstruction, data curation for XR, and robot-assisted surgery.
