Subjects corresponding to the profiles of Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Industrial Engineering.

In this course, students will learn about the algorithms, methods, and devices used in image-guided medical interventions¿such as positioning systems, motion-tracking systems, patient-to-image registration, 3-D printing, and augmented reality. Concepts are introduced theoretically and then applied in laboratory sessions to solve specific problems. The clinical use of these techniques will also be covered in areas like laparoscopic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, obstetrics, trauma care, and rehabilitation, along with their potential for clinical training and simulation. The course is primarily hands-on: students will demonstrate their knowledge through deliverables and presentations.

1. Surgical planning, navigation, and guidance: definitions and background 2. Tracking systems 3. Registration for surgical guidance: point-to-point, ICP, surface-based 4. Clinical applications 5. Virtual, mixed, and augmented reality for simulation, guidance, and treatment assessment 6. 3-D printing for personalized treatment

- Lecture - Practical class - Combined lecture-and-practical class - Laboratory sessions - Midterm and final exams - Individual student work - Group work METHODOLOGY: MD1: Lectures given by the instructor, supported by computer and audiovisual media, in which the course¿s key concepts are developed and bibliographic resources are provided to complement students¿ learning. MD2: Critical reading of texts recommended by the instructor. MD3: Solving practical cases, problems, and other exercises posed by the instructor, either individually or in groups. MD4: Classroom presentations and discussions¿moderated by the instructor¿on topics related to the course content, as well as on practical cases. MD5: Preparation of papers and reports, individually or in groups. Most sessions will follow a combined theory-and-practice format and will be complemented by hands-on assignments carried out individually or collaboratively. TUTORIAL SCHEDULE: Two hours per week will be set aside for tutorials, during which the instructor will be available in their office to meet with students.
