This project:
Advanced surgical navigation systems should allow tumor tracking during the surgical procedure. This will require development of novel miniaturized sensors that can be followed during surgical manipulation. This will necessitate high standards on powering, energy management and data transmission, as well as seamless integration of the derived sensor signal of the miniaturized sensors with currently available EM navigation systems. For the signal integration part of the project we are looking for researcher experienced in electrical/electronic engineering.

The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) is a comprehensive cancer center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The institute, founded in 1913, is among the top 10 comprehensive cancer centers, combining world-class fundamental, translational, and clinical research with dedicated patient care. Our initiatives to promote excellent translational research have been recognized by the European Academy of Cancer Sciences, when they designated us ‘Comprehensive Cancer Center of Excellence in Translational Research’. Please look at www.nki.nl.
Within the last years, researchers at the NKI developed a surgical navigation system to guide the surgeons during complex surgical procedures. The system is based around an electromagnetic tracking device with sensors to track the surgeon’s tools and patient movement. The next step would be to track also tumor movement, which is further developed within this project.
