About Myself

Jan Gumprecht

I am a student in Computer Engineering from the University of Mannheim, Germany with a specification in Optoelectronics. At the moment I am writing my diploma thesis on the project described below. This is not my first stay in North America. I studied in Waterloo, On, Canada from September 2006 to August 2007 .

Project - Development and Validation of an Open-Source Real-Time Freehand 3D Ultrasound Navigation System for Liver Surgery with GPGPU Acceleration

In my project I developed an open-source navigation system with general purpose graphics unit (GPGPU) acceleration for real-time freehand 3D-Ultrasound using conventional hardware equipment.


The proposed software system consists of two distinct components (Fig. 1). First, it records data of a tracked US-device and reconstructs volume data in real- time. Simultaneously, position and orientation data of a tracked instrument are acquired. Both the volumes and the spatial information about the tracked instru- ment are forwarded to the 3D simulation and navigation software. Second, we use Slicer3D as surgical simulation and navigation software.


In my project I am developing a Software for "Integrated Real-Time 3D Ultrasound Navigation" with the name 4DUltrasound. The program creates a 3D volume of recorded ultrasound frames in teal-time. The output of 4DUltrasound is forwarded via OpenIGTLink to Slicer3D.
