Anwendungen der computerassistierten- und robotergestützten Medizingeräte auf dem aktuellen Stand der Technik. Derartige Systeme haben in den letzten 20 Jahren revolutionäre positive Veränderungen in der Radiologie, bei Interventionen und in vielen Gebieten der Chirurgie bewirkt. Mit dieser Technik ist es möglich, Bilddaten aus unterschiedlichen bildgebenden Systemen – wie z.B. Computertomograph, Ultraschall-gerät oder Videoendoskop – zu fusionieren, am Bildschirm dreidimensional darzustellen und darin mit dem Computer Eingriffe zu planen. Während der Operation wird die räumliche Lage des navigierten Instruments gemessen und im 3D-Modell des Patienten am Bildschirm dargestellt. Geplante Pfade der Instrumente werden eingeblendet, es wird vor Risiken bei Abweichungen von der Planung gewarnt und es können aktive Instrumente wie Bohrer, Fräser, Laser oder sogar Roboter automatisiert gesteuert werden. Die Autoren sind auf diesem Gebiet seit über 25 Jahren sowohl wissenschaftlich als auch unternehmerisch international führend tätig, weshalb in diesem Buch auch Entwicklungsmethodik, Dokumentation, Zulassung und Inverkehrbringung als Medizinprodukt praxisnah erläutert werden.Modelling and Mining Networks: 19th International Workshop, WAW 2024, Warsaw, Poland, June 3–6, 2024, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #14671)
