Neurosurgical Vision Lab
The N-Vision Lab explores the integration of cutting-edge imaging technologies and real-time data analysis for neurosurgical procedures with a translational approach.
Jakob Dremel & Dr. Sven Richter
Our research focuses on developing advanced methods for intraoperative visualization and classification of brain tissue to support safer, more precise surgeries.
The Medical Challenge
Neurosurgeons often face the difficulty of distinguishing between healthy and pathological tissue during operations, especially in complex brain tumors. Current imaging tools can be limited in resolution, speed, or adaptability in the surgical environment.
Our Approach
We aim to solve this challenge by combining novel imaging modalities—such as autofluorescence imaging and raman scattering—with real-time machine learning algorithms. Our interdisciplinary work spans from fundamental research in image processing and AI to translational studies in clinical settings, ensuring that our innovations are both scientifically robust and practically applicable.
