Minimum duration: 12 weeks

Internship compensation: €400/month

About Surgical Reality

Surgical Reality is a MedTech startup developing advanced 3D visualization software for surgical practice, powered by cutting-edge computer vision and AI algorithms. Our mission is to give surgeons patient-specific anatomical models that enhance surgical insight, confidence, and treatment outcomes. Over the past years, we have developed a product for complex lung surgery that surgeons use both preoperatively and intraoperatively - essentially a GPS for the operating room. Our lung product has recently received CE-certification and FDA-approval and is now growing in the market.

We are building a set of video-analysis algorithms that can be used on intraoperative surgical videos, with the goal of improving intra-operative navigation in the operating room. We are looking for two internships to explore the use of Computer Vision techniques (object detection, classification, visual odometry) on surgical videos for real-time usage. The projects are exploratory in nature, where the candidates will be expected to perform their own research and be comfortable with unknowns.

Responsibilities

Explore datasets and data annotation methods.
Develop image pre/post-processing methods using Python.
Compare technical approaches such as deep-learning architectures and learning strategies and suggest evaluation metrics.
Work towards real-time proof-of-concept.

Your Profile

Final year BSc or MSc student in computer science, data science, biomedical engineering, technical medicine, robotics, artificial intelligence or related fields.
Interest in medical imaging, computer vision, image-guided interventions or surgical navigation.
Experience with Python and data processing is required and experience with image/video processing, 3D data, annotation workflows or machine learning is a plus.
Able to work independently in an exploratory project where the final technical solution is still open.
Strong collaboration and communication skills within a multidisciplinary team.
