Postdoc Innovative Deep Learning Techniques for Image-guided Surgery

Project information Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. In many cancers, surgery, where the surgeon removes malignant tissue, plays a pivotal role. A significant development in surgical procedures is tracking surgical instruments in conjunction with preoperative MRI/CT imaging to guide the procedure, ensuring more accurate, safer, and less invasive procedures. This project will develop novel deep learning-based image-guided surgery techniques for surgical procedures in the abdomen. In this region, interoperative motility, proximity to major vessels, and critical structures like nerves are important considerations for using image-guided techniques.
