Good morning, my name is Bogdan Zhukov and I'm 
currently doing my Master's Thesis at the DKFZ.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:27.360
So I'm working on the topic of robot assistant and 
ultrasound guided radiotherapy we use our robot to  

00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:35.840
hold our ultrasound probe and use it to place 
it on the patient's body and the robot  

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:43.840
can compensate breathing motions so it 
would look like this.

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:54.000
Afterwards we use the ultrasound to 
track various structures in the body  

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:01.360
like the tumor that is necessary for the 
radiotherapy and we use our optical markers  

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:09.680
to know where in space this tumor is and 
that's the point where my work starts. 

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:17.920
I'm doing a lot of transformations from the markers to the world system  

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:25.200
and for my current work I'm designing new 
phantoms that i can use later on  

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.760
for the calibration methods for our robot 
and that can be used ahead of each treatment. 

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.920
It's definitely a large variety of 
different things to try out so

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.480
each day there's something new to check with 
the robot of ultrasound and there's just

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.840
always something new to explore and 
it's always challenging and interesting  

00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.840
As you can see, we have a lot of different 
hardware we have our robot, we have our ultrasound,  

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.560
we have our optical camera, and it's always 
hard to get everything working at the same  

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.160
time and if something is not working to figure 
out what is exactly not working and in order to  

00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:21.840
do our experiments the way we need them 
to it's always a lot of setup to do first.
