IGT Group

Image Guided Therapy Research Group (IGT) is a research group at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). We are part of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Lab (BSEL) in the Department of Bioengineering. Our group is also part of Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Gregorio Marañón (IISGM), a research institute integrating UC3M, Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón and Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

Group coordinator: Javier Pascau, MSc, PhD (Full Professor, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)

Research supported by projects PI122/00601 and AC20/00102  (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer and European Regional Development Fund / EU “Una manera de hacer Europa”), project PerPlanRT (under the frame of ERA PerMed), TED2021-129392B-I00, TED2021-132200B-I00 and PID2023-149604OB-I00 (MCIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and European Union “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR).

Our focus

Research

Our research is focused on Image Guided Therapy with a translational approach where the clinical needs are the driving force of our methods.

Education

We teach in the Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering and several Master degrees at UC3M.

Collaboration

Clinical and technical researchers from different institutions are part of our multidisciplinary team.

  • New paper out today!
    AR and 3D printing for open cranial vault remodeling surgery. Craniosynostosis is a congenital condition characterized by the premature fusion of cranial sutures, leading to potential complications such as abnormal skull growth, increased intracranial pressure, and cognitive delays. Traditionally, open cranial vault reconstruction (OCVR) has been used to treat this… Continue reading New paper out today!
  • IGT in MICCAI 2024
    The IGT group participated giving a hands-on tutorial and two talks. The tutorial, called AI-based image segmentation and labeling with free open source software, 3D Slicer, was organized by Mónica García Sevilla (from our IGT group) and Rebecca Hisey (from Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada). Alicia Pose Díez de la Lastra, also from our IGT group, was an instructor during the event.

  • Our new paper on Augmented Reality and 3D printing for Microtia reconstruction is already available!
    Microtia is a congenital malformation of the auricle that affects approximately 4 of every 10,000 live newborns. Radiographic film paper is traditionally employed to bidimensionally trace the structures of the contralateral healthy ear in a quasi-artistic manner. Anatomical points provide linear and angular measurements. However, this technique proves time-consuming, subjectivity-rich,… Continue reading Our new paper on Augmented Reality and 3D printing for Microtia reconstruction is already available!
