Abstract

This paper describes how MT is integrated into a course project in the Master programme of the International Technical Communication course of study at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences. The students who are participating in the MA programme can choose to study full-time or part-time, i.e. all courses are being taught as distance learning courses and in-class courses alternately. This concept is one of the reasons that the students are very different/diversified regarding their professional background, their age, years of working experience etc. Some students have already been working as translators for years or decades others have just finished a BA programme as a technical writer or translator, and again others have so far been working as engineers or teachers. This aspect produces very interesting comments in the chat room and/or in class as well as in the results of their work and in their final reports. An observation that one can make and that can be seen as a side-effect when students who have such varying curricula and different professions who are working together is, that their view onto the actual project work is fairly different as well. While technical writers nowadays have a focus on controlling the language prior to the actual writing process, technical translators do not have in mind that the source texts they have to use as working basis, follow any rules at all. This may be because of the negative experiences technical writers have made in the past regarding the quality of the source texts. However, this is an additional outcome of the course and mentioned here, yet it is not intended to be examined in detail in this article. The course project is based on the idea of combining controlled language and a pre-editing step in order to achieve an effective way to prepare contemporary technical documentation for rule-based machine translation (RBMT). I will explain what I mean by “contemporary” within the context of technical documentation and why this attribute plays an important role within the decision-making process to integrate CL, pre-editing and MT in the course project, which also includes practical exercises for the students. In addition, the reason why RBMT is the MT method chosen within the context of multilingual text production is explained.

Understanding Spatial Relationships in US: A Computer-based Training Tool That Utilizes Inexpensive Off-the-Shelf Game Controllers

Teistler, M., Brunberg, J., Bott, O., Breiman, R., Ebert, L., Ross, S., & Dresing, K. (2014). Understanding Spatial Relationships in US: A Computer-based Training Tool That Utilizes Inexpensive Off-the-Shelf Game Controllers. RadioGraphics, 34, 1334–1343. http://doi.org/10.1148/rg.345130039

Abstract

The authors present a simulation-based ultrasonographic (US) training tool that can help improve the understanding of spatial relationships in US. Use of a game controller to simulate a US probe allows examination of different virtual three-dimensional (3D) objects. These 3D objects are either completely artificial simple geometric objects (eg, spheres, tubes, and ellipsoids, or more complex combinations thereof) or derived from photographed gross anatomic data (eg, the Visible Human dataset [U.S. National Library of Medicine]) or clinical computed tomographic (CT) data. The virtual US probe allows infinitely variable real-time positioning of a “slice” that is displayed as a two-dimensional (2D) cross-sectional image and as part of a 3D view. Combining the 2D and 3D views helps elucidate the spatial relationships between a 3D object and derived 2D images. This training tool provides reliable real-time interactivity and is widely available and easily affordable, since it utilizes standard personal computer technology and off-the-shelf gaming hardware. For instance, it can be used at home by medical students or residents as a complement to conventional US training. In the future, this system could be adapted to support training for US-guided needle biopsy, with use of a second game controller to control the biopsy needle. Furthermore, it could be used as a more general interactive visualization tool for the evaluation of clinical 3D CT and magnetic resonance imaging data, allowing efficient and intuitive real-time creation of oblique multiplanar reformatted images.

Informatics in Radiology: Use of a C-Arm Fluoroscopy Simulator to Support Training in Intraoperative Radiography

Bott, O., Dresing, K., Wagner, M., Raab, B.-W., & Teistler, M. (2011). Informatics in Radiology: Use of a C-Arm Fluoroscopy Simulator to Support Training in Intraoperative Radiography. RadioGraphics, 31, E65-E75. http://doi.org/10.1148/rg.313105125

Abstract

Mobile image intensifier systems (C-arms) are used frequently in orthopedic and reconstructive surgery, especially in trauma and emergency settings, but image quality and radiation exposure levels may vary widely, depending on the extent of the C-arm operator s knowledge and experience. Current training programs consist mainly of theoretical instruction in C-arm operation, the physical foundations of radiography, and radiation avoidance, and are largely lacking in hands-on application. A computer-based simulation program such as that tested by the authors may be one way to improve the effectiveness of C-arm training. In computer simulations of various scenarios commonly encountered in the operating room, trainees using the virtX program interact with three-dimensional models to test their knowledge base and improve their skill levels. Radiographs showing the simulated patient anatomy and surgical implants are “reconstructed” from data computed on the basis of the trainee s positioning of models of a C-arm, patient, and table, and are displayed in real time on the desktop monitor. Trainee performance is signaled in real time by color graphics in several control panels and, on completion of the exercise, is compared in detail with the performance of an expert operator. Testing of this computer-based training program in continuing medical education courses for operating room personnel showed an improvement in the overall understanding of underlying principles of intraoperative radiography performed with a C-arm, with resultant higher image quality, lower overall radiation exposure, and greater time efficiency.
