Radiofrequency ablation is an ablation technique to treat tumors with focused heat. Computer tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are imaging modalities which can be used for image-guided procedures. MRI offers several advantages in comparison to the other imaging modalities, such as radiation-free fluoroscopic imaging, temperature mapping, a high-soft-tissue contrast and free selection of imaging planes. This work addresses the application of 3Dcontrollers for controlling interventional, fluoroscopic MR sequences at the scenario of MR guided radiofrequency ablation of hepatic malignancies. During this procedure, the interventionalist can monitor the targeting of the tumor with near-real time fluoroscopic sequences. In general, adjustments of the imaging planes are necessary during tumor targeting, which is performed by an assistant in the control room. Therefore, communication between the interventionalist in the scanner room and the assistant in the control room is essential. However, verbal communication is impaired due to the loud scanning noises. Alternatively, non-verbal communication between the two persons is possible, however limited to a few gestures and susceptible to misunderstandings. This work is analyzing different 3D-controllers to enable control of interventional MR sequences during MR-guided procedures directly by the interventionalist. Leap Motion, Wii Remote, SpaceNavigator, Phantom Omni and Foot Switch were selected. For that a simulation was built in C++ with VTK to feign the real scenario for test purposes. Previous results showed that Leap Motion is not suitable for the application while Wii Remote and Foot Switch are possible input devices. Final evaluation showed a generally time reduction with the use of 3D-controllers. Best results were reached with Wii Remote in 34 seconds. Handholding input devices like Wii Remote have further potential to integrate them in real environment to reduce intervention time.
Digitization of societies changes the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. In the age of digital transformation IT environments with a large number of rather small structures like Internet of Things (IoT), microservices, or mobility systems are emerging to support flexible and agile digitized products and services. Adaptable ecosystems with service oriented enterprise architectures are the foundation for self-optimizing, resilient run-time environments and distributed information systems. The resulting business disruptions affect almost all new information processes and systems in the context of digitization. Our aim are more flexible and agile transformations of both business and information technology domains with more flexible enterprise information systems through adaptation and evolution of digital enterprise architectures. The present research paper investigates mechanisms for decision-controlled digitization architectures for Internet of Things and microservices by evolving enterprise architecture reference models and state of the art elements for architectural engineering for micro-granular systems.
Digital enterprise architecture management in tourism : state of the art and future directions
(2018)
The advance of information technology impacts tourism more than many other industries, due to the service character of its products. Most offerings in tourism are immaterial in nature and challenging in coordination. Therefore, the alignment of IT and strategy and digitization is of crucial importance to enterprises in tourism. To cope with the resulting challenges, methods for the management of enterprise architectures are necessary. Therefore, we scrutinize approaches for managing enterprise architectures based on a literature research. We found many areas for future research on the use of enterprise architecture in tourism.
