**Intended learning outcomes:** Students who complete this module ...

- have an in-depth knowledge of modern surgical and interventional imaging technologies such as iMRI, iCT and IOUS, as well as medical image processing
- understand methods such as surgical tracking, calibration and registration, which are essential for the development and application of surgical assistance systems
- can design and develop surgical planning and navigation systems.
- can write a state of the art report in the field of computer assisted surgery
- can read, analyse and briefly summarise scientific papers in a scientific report.

Within this module students can choose between a seminar or a team project. If students choose to undertake a seminar, they ... - will be able to read, understand and present scientific publications in the field of computer-assisted surgery
- will understand how to critically analyse scientific publications and improve their ability to present the results of others' research.

If students opt for a team project, they ... - will develop, test and evaluate a software tool in an interdisciplinary team
- will learn how to deal with conflict in interdisciplinary teams.
