9520887 Nnaji This award is providing funding for a planning grant proposal to study the feasibility of establishing an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Computer-Aided Devices for Diagnosis and Surgical Intervention Systems at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Medical imaging diagnosis and surgical intervention systems are common technologies for doctors. Today, there is no integrated imaging technologies that can present both the bone and soft tissue structure in three dimensions. Medical industries have shown a great interests in the development of intelligent imaging systems that can provide more realistic, three-dimensional presentations of organs, segments of organs or groups of organs. In a typical plastic surgery, doctors normally perform the operations manually. When a skin graft or flap is necessary for reconstruction of a damaged area, the surgeon must estimate the contour, area, and volume of the tissue required to ensure success of the reconstruction. CAD/CAM and Robotics technologies developed by engineers and scientists are very useful tools to develop the next generation surgical intervention system. CAD/CAM technology based on geometric reasoning that can be employed to estimate precise dimensions of damaged areas and match skin and tissue portions to be extracted from another part of the body. Robotics technology can be integrated in controlling and sensing the surgical operations adaptively. Research projects proposed for industrial members consideration for the envisioned Center are; 1) a Surgical Virtual Reality Machine, 2) A Sensor Equipment Scalpel, 3) Computer Aided Medical Imager (CAM Imager), 4) Spine Curvature Analyzer Using Laser, 5) Automated Burn Debridement, 6) Automated Congential Birthmark Treatment, 7) Recreation of Exact Duplicate Tissue Defects, 8) Automation Tissue Expansion, 9) Planner for Burn Reconstruction, 10) Tissue Engineering, 11) Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) application in Small - Field Digital Mammography, 12) Radiologist's Diagnostic Aid in Detection of Microcalcification Precursors of Breast Cancer, 13) Digital Mammographic Cassette, 14) Digital Breast Specimen Radiography for Improved Biopsy, and 15) Prototype of a Stereoscopic Mammography System. The Principal Investigator/Center Director is a recognized authority in his field and has assembled an interdisciplinary research team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the Brigham and Woman's Hospital (a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School). A planning meeting with interested companies was held on January 20, 1995. The Program Manager recommends the University of Massachusetts at Amherst be awarded $10,000 for one year to conduct a planning activity.

9520887 Nnaji该奖项是提供资金的规划赠款建议，研究建立一个工业/大学合作研究中心的计算机辅助设备诊断和手术干预系统在阿默斯特的马萨诸塞州大学的可行性。 医学影像诊断和手术介入系统是医生的常用技术。 今天，没有集成成像技术可以在三维空间中呈现骨骼和软组织结构。 医疗行业对开发能够提供器官、器官段或器官组的更逼真的三维呈现的智能成像系统表现出极大的兴趣。 在典型的整形手术中，医生通常手动执行手术。 当皮肤移植或皮瓣是重建受损区域所必需的，外科医生必须估计轮廓，面积和所需的组织的体积，以确保重建的成功。 工程师和科学家开发的CAD/CAM和机器人技术是开发下一代手术介入系统的非常有用的工具。 基于几何推理的CAD/CAM技术，可用于估计受损区域的精确尺寸，并匹配从身体另一部分提取的皮肤和组织部分。 机器人技术可以集成在自适应控制和传感外科手术。 为设想的中心提出的供工业成员考虑的研究项目有：1）手术虚拟现实机，2）传感器设备手术刀，3）计算机辅助医学成像仪（CAM成像仪），4）使用激光的脊柱曲率分析仪，5）自动烧伤清创术，6）自动先天性瘢痕治疗，7）精确复制组织缺损的重建，8）自动组织扩张，9）烧伤重建计划器，10）组织工程，11）电荷耦合器件（CCD）在小视野数字乳腺X射线摄影中的应用，12）放射科医生在检测乳腺癌微钙化前体中的诊断辅助，13）数字乳腺X射线摄影暗盒，14）用于改进活检的数字乳房样本射线照相术，和15）立体乳房X射线照相术系统的原型。 主要研究者/中心主任是其领域公认的权威，并组建了一个由来自马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学和布里格姆妇女医院（哈佛医学院的教学附属机构）的研究人员组成的跨学科研究团队。 与感兴趣的公司举行了一次规划会议， 1995年1月20日 项目经理建议为位于阿默斯特的马萨诸塞州大学提供为期一年的10，000美元，用于开展规划活动。
