NIH/AAOS Workshop on New Engineering Technology Transfer in Orthopaedics

本奖项为1998年4月30日至5月3日举行的“骨科新工程技术转移研讨会”发表的论文提供部分资助。研讨会的参与者将讨论数字图像图形、机器人和计算机信息学等新兴技术，这些技术已经对医学和外科的研究、教育和患者护理产生了重大影响。参与者包括来自美国和国外的对相关技术和其他学科有浓厚兴趣和专业知识的年轻科学家和其他研究人员。讲习班为审查这些技术的相对优点和潜在的负面影响提供了一个论坛。对这些新工具在该领域不同专科的问题、需求和可能性进行坦诚的回顾是适当和必要的，以正确评估该技术在骨科手术和康复医学中的潜在价值。医疗机器人、虚拟现实模型、远程医疗/远程外科、计算机辅助手术和术前规划在未来骨科医学中发挥重要作用，必须仔细界定和审查其适当的范围和相关的应用领域。已经为发表讲习班的调查结果拟订了详细的计划。使用大量彩色图形的出版物将是平装书、CD-ROM和互联网网站

Participants in the workshop will discuss the emerging technologies of digital image graphics, robotics, and computer informatics which have already made significant impacts on medicine and surgery in research, education and patient care. The participants include young scientists and other investigators with strong interest and expertise in related technologies and in other disciplines both from the USA and abroad.The workshop provides a forum for the review of the relative merits and potential negative effects of the impact of these technologies. A candid review of the problems, needs and possibilities of these new tools in different sub-specialties of the field is appropriate and necessary to assess properly the potential value of this technology in orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation medicine. For Medical Robots, Virtual Reality Models, Telemedicine/Telesurgery, Computer-Assisted Surgery and Preoperative Planning to play an important role in the future of orthopaedic medicine, their proper scope and relevant areas of application must be carefully defined and scrutinized.Detailed plans have been prepared for the publication of workshop findings. Publications, making use of extensive color graphics, are to be a paperback book, CD-ROM, and an Internet Web site.***
