PHD Machine Learning for Medical Video Analysis

Machine Learning for Medical Video Analysis in Cancer Treatment PhD Machine Learning for Medical Video Analysis in Cancer Treatment The advances of fluorescent markers provide powerful new possibilities for guided precision medicine in cancer surgery. However, fluorescent signals in soft tissue can be difficult to interpret, especially when they are weak, unstable, or partially obscured during minimally invasive procedures. To help surgeons achieve the best possible post-operative quality of life for cancer patients, we are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join an international research effort combining medical imaging, computer vision, and artificial intelligence.

In this four-year PhD project, you will develop real-time machine-learning systems for the analysis of fluorescence-guided endoscopic videos. Your primary goal is to design and evaluate machine learning and deep learning algorithms capable of reliably detecting weak fluorescence signals injected into soft tissues to mark tumors and lymph nodes. You will work on: - Developing an automated system for fluorescence video analysis - Integrating the developed algorithms into a real-time prototype system - Collaborating with surgeons and industrial partners to understand clinical requirements and refine system functionality - Participating actively in consortium meetings and interdisciplinary collaboration with academic, clinical, and industrial partners Employed PhD candidates are expected to spend 10% of their working hours on teaching and/or supervising candidates.
