Computerassistierte Medizin (CompAssMed)

Computer Assisted Medicine

Profile and objectives

The Laboratory for Computer-Assisted Medicine at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences is a pure research laboratory and offers jobs for employees, doctoral students and students writing their bachelor's or master's thesis.

The scientific work at the Laboratory of Computer-Assisted Medicine focuses on programming in MATLAB and C++, in particular the control of hardware to solve a wide variety of medical problems. Many of these questions include calibration, i.e. finding parameters that are important for the precise use and control of individual hardware components.

Main areas of research

  • Navigation in Surgery
  • Medical mixed and augmented reality applications
  • intraoperative operation planning
  • robotics in medicine
  • Medical image processing
  • Navigated Ultrasound Applications
  • Automation of calibration processes

Subject areas for final theses

  • Calibration and control of augmented and mixed reality glasses
  • Development of end effectors for medical applications
  • Non-contact calibration of surgical Instruments
  • Calibration of ultrasonic probes
  • Synchronization, streaming and superimposition of ultrasound Images
  • Eye tracking for mixed and augmented reality glasses
  • Control of the Baxter Research Robot for medical applications
  • Further development of the non-model-based calibration of cameras developed in the laboratory
  • Tracking of a catheter by projection or insertion into augmented reality glasses

Equipment

  • Stryker FP 6000" optical navigation system with various tracking tools and pointers
  • Surgical milling machine from Stryker
  • Electromagnetic navigation system "NDI Aurora" with table top field generator and various sensors
  • "Baxter" research robot from Rethink Robotics (two arms with seven degrees of freedom each)
  • Artec Eva 3D-Scanner with texture detection
  • Zonal ultrasonic System
  • Various ultrasound devices of the company Terason
