NSERC CREATE Training Program in Computer-assisted Medical Intervention (CAMI)

即将到来的智能、图像引导的手术和治疗机电一体化技术革命将为医疗保健系统带来重大利益，并可能带来巨大的商业收益。关于计算机辅助医疗干预（CAMI）的拟议CREATE计划的动机是，开发下一代医疗干预技术所需的研究是高度多学科的，不仅需要对临床应用的深刻理解，而且还需要在机电一体化、工程设计、医疗机器人、医学成像、生物力学、触觉和人机交互等广泛领域的重要专业知识。基于可视化和虚拟现实的模拟。CAMI项目的主要目标是开发和实施一个独特的跨学科研究和培训环境，在这个环境中，一群拥有不同专业知识的顶尖研究人员将合作培训下一代的介入技术和手术和治疗技术研究人员。

The upcoming revolution in intelligent, image-guided mechatronic technology for surgery and therapy will lead to major benefits to the healthcare system with potential for significant commercial gain. The proposed CREATE program on Computer-Assisted Medical Interventions (CAMI) is motivated by the fact that the research required to develop the next generation of technologies for medical interventions is highly multidisciplinary, requiring not only a deep understanding of clinical applications, but also significant expertise in a wide range of areas such as mechatronics, engineering design, medical robotics, medical imaging, biomechanics, haptics and human-machine interaction, visualization and virtual-reality based simulations. The key objective of the CAMI program is to develop and implement a unique transdisciplinary research and training environment in which a group of top researchers with diverse expertise will collaborate to train the next generation of researchers in interventional technologies and techniques for surgery and therapy.
