Surgical Data Science

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research program will concentrate on Surgical Data Science, specifically on novel *technologies for minimally invasive medical interventions performed under computational image *guidance. I aim to transcend human limitations in the accuracy and precision of image-guided *intervention performance and in training physicians for these procedures. Specifically, I will develop *and translate to actual clinical practice the following innovative methods: (1) novel *electromagnetically navigated instruments, intra-operative biomechanical image fusion methods *and surgical navigation software for soft tissue tumor resection, first demonstrated in breast cancer *surgery; (2) a new generation of training methods and systems for quantitative skill and *competence assessment in image-guided needle placement intervention training.
