Knowledge-based liver surgery (A02)

• Subject Area: General and Visceral Surgery ; Epidemiology and Medical Biometry/Statistics
• Term: from 2012 to 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 211469636

The vision of this project is to improve liver surgery by an objective, context-aware and combined analysis of all relevant data in the course of disease management. Dynamically acquired factual and practical knowledge (e.g. study results, clinical outcomes in similar cases) as well as individual patient data (e.g. laboratory data, pre-operative images, intra-operative sensor data) shall continuously be accumulated and processed to support the surgeon´s decisions and actions in a knowledge-based manner. Computer assistance shall cover the entire medical workflow from diagnosis and treatment planning, to plan execution, to follow-up.
