The NCCR Co-Me is proud to announce that PD Dr. med. Michael Bajka,
Leader of Subproject 04/3 Medical expertise has
received the Venia Legendi of the Medical
Faculty of the University Zurich.
The topic of Michael Bajka's Venia Legendi was the effort of building
a high fidelity hysteroscopy simulator based on virtual reality at
the Clinic of Gynaecology of the University Hospital Zurich. His
research and development work has been supported by NCCR Co-Me
research grants for several years.
PD Dr. med. Michael Bajka's major research interest is the
integration of the hysteroscopy simulator as a training system into
the medical curriculum. His work aimes at achieving the highest
possible realism in order to create a reference system, which can
serve as a Golden Standard for surgeon performance. So far, the basic
components of the simulator have been combined to create an early
prototype allowing the resection of a polyp and a myoma by the
electric loop in a close-to-real simulated environment. Michael
Bajka's contribution to the hysteroscopy simulator is part of a close
collaboration oft he Clinic St. Anna, Luzern, the Computer Vision
Laboratory of the ETH Zurich, and the Laboratoire de Systemes
Robotiques at the EPF Lausanne.
