The integration of new technical infrastructure and technologies as well as the variety of resulting information present new challenges for physicians, engineers and manufacturers. To empower a new generation of young scientists to meet these challenges and carry out future projects, the Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery (ICCAS) at university Leipzig plans to hold his 5th Digital Operating Room Summer School (DORS).

DORS is primarily aimed at graduates, doctoral students, post-docs and senior scientists from research and industry with a multidisciplinary background. The five-day intensive course with an attractive, varied program will comprise lectures, hands-on sessions, visits to operating rooms and individual workshops, giving the participants an extensive overview of medical technology in digital operating rooms from different angles along with insights into current research projects and problems.

Topics:

• computer-assisted technologies and navigation systems in head and neck

interventions and neurosurgery

• computer-assisted technologies in robotics and endoscopy

• computer-assisted technologies in cardiovascular and image-guided

interventions

• background infrastructure for computer-assisted technologies: patient models,

workflows and technical standards in operating rooms

• operating room infrastructures and future technologies
