DORS 2019 — Digital Operating Room Summerschool

Clinical experts and users will explain their views and expectations regarding innovative computer-assisted technologies as well as the current state of progress in clinical practice and research. Both successful developments and negative examples will be addressed and the advantages and disadvantages for therapeutic medicine set out. Moreover, the technical background of innovative infrastructure and technical standards will be examined, and various architectures, frameworks and communication technologies for computer assisted interventions in the digital operation room explained.The educational concept of the summer school provides for the strong interdisciplinary dovetailing of medical and technical aspects in a manner which is unique in the global technology landscape. Accordingly, the summer school will be organized in daily modules each devoted to a different topic and divided into lectures, visits and hands-on sessions. In addition it is also planned to establish workshops, in which the participants put their own research fields under discussion.

Topics: computer-assisted technologies and navigation systems in head and neck interventions, in robotics and endoscopy, 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
