Master thesis in computer assisted navigated surgery - September/October 2025, 6 months

Work Flexibility: Hybrid

Our team is specialized in the development of clinical navigation systems for minimally invasive ENT surgery. Clinical navigation systems (Stryker Scopis System) are used to guide surgeons by displaying the position of medical instruments on three-dimensional CT or MRI data of the patient, and ultimately to precisely reach anatomical targets. The team uses the latest technologies such as computer vision, augmented reality and AI for computer-assisted surgery.
