PROCEEDINGS

We are happy to announce that this year the workshop proceedings will be published in a Special Issue of the Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering: Imaging & Visualization journal.

THEMES

The focus of this workshop is on novel scientific contributions that offer solutions to the technical problems in computer-assisted intervention systems and robotics, visualization and interaction, and medical image computing, as well as papers describing complete systems and clinical applications. The potential clinical benefit is a core subject and contributors will be expected to place their work within this context by describing necessary developments, research questions and any potential obstacles that must be overcome before the clinical introduction of their technologies.

Topics within this theme include:

  • Medical Augmented and Virtual Reality
  • Surgical Simulation and Training
  • Multimodal Data Visualization and Image Fusion
  • Image-guided Surgical Navigation and Robotics
  • Display Technology for Medical Imaging and Visualization
  • Image Guided Intervention System and Platforms
  • Human-Computer Interaction and Information Display (visual, auditory, tactile)
  • Medical Image Formation, Analysis, and Interpretation 
  • Computer Assisted Intervention, Interventional Imaging
  • Image-guided Robotics, Image-guided Intervention
  • Surgical Planning  and Simulation
  • Systematic Extra- and Intra-corporeal Imaging Modalities
  • General Biological and Neuroscience Image Computing
  • Patient-Specific Modeling and Medical Image Understanding
  • Robotic and navigated endoscopy
  • Stereoscopic endoscopy 
  • Ultrasound endoscopy
  • Endoscope tracking, navigation, planning and simulation
  • Endoscopic video computing and computer vision for endoscopic applications
  • Endoscopy skill training and evaluation
  • Context-Aware Operating Theatres
  • Surgical vision and perception
  • Cognitive models
  • Sensors, Wearable and implantable electronics and robots
  • Decision support networks to enhance surgical procedural assistance
  • Context-awareness and team communication in the operating theater
  • Human-robot collaborative systems
  • Surgical training and assessment
