II Symposium on Advanced Surgical Planning in Thoracic Surgery

At the end of the course, the student will be able to make 3D lung reconstructions using open source software (3D Slicer). They will learn how to make 3D rendering, to segment pulmonary vessels, airways, nodules, and pulmonary parenchyma segmentation, as well as to perform volumetric analysis of the

Summary: The pedagogical program will be divided into 11 weeks. Each week there will be an online (live) meeting lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. The meetings will be of two types and will alternate during the weeks

• General Meetings: consisting of theoretical classes + practical presentation by one of the groups.
• Group meetings: Five groups of eight students each with a tutor. Focusing on project practice and development
.

We will start the course with an introductory course lasting 2 hours. The introductory class will consist of basic topics for the beginning of the segmentation process and a moment to clarify the routine, schedule, and division of the

After the opening class, a tomography exam will be available in a DICOM file (anonymized) that will be used by all students during the course in general activities. Each week, students will receive individual tasks that will be guided by written instructions and video tutorial showing the main steps and tips to complete the exercises and steps of the 3D reconstruction process

Students will be separated into groups with one tutor each. The groups will meet weekly (in the weeks interspersed with the general meetings). The group meetings are aimed at finalizing a project that consists of the surgical planning of a complex clinical case (provided by the organization) that will be presented and evaluated at the end of the course in a face-to-face meeting. During these meetings, students will be able to carry out the stages of the segmentation process with their tutors and will discuss the anatomical variations and technical difficulties

At the end of each general meeting, one of the groups will present the progress of their project in addition to demonstrating the general activity for the week.
