- Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious side effect of oncologic radiation therapy. Often, surgical removal of the affected skeletal tissue is indicated. In craniomaxillofacial surgery, partial or total resection of the upper or lower jaw implies a severe impairment of the patient‘s quality of life. Up to now, clear display of ORN is still a challenge. This part of the project is dedicated to medical visualization of progressing ORN for clinical diagnosis. Currently, clinical diagnosis of ORN is mostly based on computer tomography (CT). With regard to its high advantages as e.g. reduced radiation dose, we additionally evaluate cone beam computer tomography (CBCT). After registration on a suitable reference and refined image processing and segmentation, all patient’s CT-/CBCT-data are subjected to various rendering techniques configured for the respective purpose, namely visualization of destructive and/or sclerotic skeletal alterations, consideration of cortical or trabecular bone, and analysis based on CT or CBCT. Recent achievements within the project were demonstrated with special focus on evaluation of both, CT and CBCT as well as on close cooperation with the clinical setting.

- Human rely profoundly on tactile feedback from fingertips to interact with the environment, whereas most hand prostheses used in clinics provide no tactile feedback. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility to use a tactile display glove that can be worn by a unilateral hand amputee on the remaining healthy hand to display tactile feedback from a hand prosthesis. The main benefit is that users could easily distinguish the feedback for each finger, even without training. The claimed advantage is supported by preliminary tests with healthy subjects. This approach may lead to the development of effective and affordable tactile display devices that provide tactile feedback for individual fingertip of hand prostheses.

Thrilling AI-A novel, signal-based digital biomarker for diagnosing canine heart diseases

- Auscultation methods enable non-invasive diagnosis of diseases, e.g. of the heart, based on heartbeat sounds. Regular, early examinations using machine learning techniques could help to detect diseases at an early stage to prevent serious health conditions and then provide optimal therapy through continuous monitoring. There is already a lot of work on human data using AI algorithms to detect patterns in signals or images. However, there is hardly no work on detecting heart murmurs with digital such as Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease. In this paper, we present a canine auscultation project that aims to provide a tool to establish a baseline of classification parameters from audio signals that could be used to monitor canine health status by analyzing deviations from this baseline. In the future, data analysis could also lead to prediction and early detection of other diseases.
