One of the most concerning findings? 𝐀𝐧 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟔𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. This contributes to a troubling turnover rate of 17.5% annually and fewer new professionals entering the radiology field. The Siemens report identifies four critical challenges: 🔹Expanding high-quality 3D mammography screening 🔹Reducing inconclusive results and improving accuracy 🔹Lowering dose exposure 🔹Improving ergonomics and staff satisfaction amidst ongoing staff shortages 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲, where the patient is seated during the procedure, can play a vital role in tackling two of these challenges. According to Mike Laky, President of Enable Me, “𝑈𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑑, ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡-𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑉𝐸𝐿𝐴 𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑡𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑠.

Planar Motor are a groundbreaking innovation in lab robotics - the ability to move plates from station to station opens the door for parallel processing solutions that are difficult to do with stand alone liquid handlers. But they do use a lot of energy and they aren’t cheap. The 4motionCubes below are a very interesting alternative. Perhaps not as fast, nor as precise or powerful, but rather lower cost and dead simple. It’s great to see both a “Ferrari” and a “Fiat” in this space.

🔬 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐈: 𝐀 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🎥🤖 At the Fraunhofer FIT Generative AI Lab, we're excited to share a new approach that enhances surgical training using the latest advances in generative AI. Our team has collaborated with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Experimental Surgery of the Charité on a project that leverages diffusion models to generate realistic laparoscopic videos, enabling interactive and dynamic surgical simulations. 🏥💡   📌 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? In previous research, we demonstrated that our trained models outperform existing Foundation Models in generating high-quality laparoscopic images from simple text prompts by employing a data-centric approach. Expanding upon this, our latest work introduces a three-stage pipeline capable of generating short laparoscopic video sequences. This method enables medical practitioners to visualize realistic surgical scenarios without dependence on traditional video libraries, offering a novel tool for medical education and training.   🚀 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤? By inputting a textual description of the laparoscopic scene and specifying the position of the surgical tools, the pipeline generates short video clips. The results of this approach will be showcased at the upcoming MICCAI24 Conference in Morocco next week and can be accessed here.   🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? Traditional surgical training methods are limited by a lack of realism and variability. The AI-driven approach overcomes these barriers, offering medical professionals a tool to improve their skills in a risk-free environment.   📈 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭? High-quality multimodal data is a critical asset in driving advancements in generative AI methodologies. In response, we have initiated efforts to expand available datasets to further support research and MedTech innovation. Stay tuned for upcoming developments.   🔗 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞?
