Computational Surgery Conference (Staff/UH) Dinner

2010-12-20 10:54:39.0

TMHS Staff/RI Staff/UH Graduate Students with DINNER

Registration is FREE but you pay a $50.00 fee for the Dinner for TMHS/RI Employees and UH Graduate Students

Computational surgery is a new discipline that focuses on the use of medical imaging, medical robotics, simulation, and information technology in surgery.

The consortium COSINE - computationalsurgery.org - founded in 2008, aims at producing a new breed of engineers and scientists who can work with physicians and surgeons to develop innovative medical practice. This offer corresponds to the urgent need expressed by the medical industry of high skilled collaborators able to facilitate the rapid evolution toward computer assisted medicine and surgery. It also corresponds to the economic challenge of the medical budget that is the fastest growing economic sector in advanced countries.

The conference will present recent progress and new trends of research in the following four complementary fields of computational surgery:

Modeling and Simulation of Surgery procedure
Medical Robotic and Image guided Surgery Intervention
Image Analysis and Visualization for pre/post surgery
Information Technology Framework for surgery platform

The conference will also provide a forum for new ideas to build the interdisciplinary curriculum of surgeons/computational scientist, and provide material for the continuous education of surgeons.

This conference will cover the following topics and much more:

Computational Surgery and Disease Management
- Breast Conservative Therapy
- Abdominal Surgery for Cancer
- Cardiac Intervention
- Vascular Occlusive disease
- Trauma Medicine
Image Processing and Visualization for Surgical Intervention
- Case Studies With Image Processing and Diagnostic
- Surgery Planning and Virtual Surgery
- Augmented Visualization in Surgery
Image Driven Intervention and Robotics
- Computer Assisted Abdominal Surgery
- MRI Guided Cardiac Intervention
- Medical Robots for Orthopedics
Modelling Simulation and Experimental Data
- Lessons From System Biology in Vein Graft Failure
- Image Base Simulation of Gliomas
- Modelling Solid Tumor in Lung Cancer
- Multiscale Modelling of Lumpectomy
- Coupling Ultrasound with Hemodynamic Simulation
Training
- Simulators in Training
- Non Intrusive Stress Assessment of Surgery Training Sessions
- Curriculum in Computational Surgery

For full description, itinerary, key deadlines for abstract submissions, and more, please visit www.computationalsurgery.org.

A tutorial on computational surgery with hands on training will be organized at MITIE on the 26th of January prior to the conference main talks.

The proceeding of this conference will be published by Springer Verlag as the second volume of computational surgery.
