图像引导治疗（IGT）或图像引导干预（IGI）的系统开发仍然是学术界和行业团体积极关注的领域。这是一个正在迅速发展的新兴领域：主要学术机构和医疗器械制造商已经生产出常规临床使用的IGT技术，每年在备受好评的期刊上发表数十篇具有高影响力的出版物，一些小公司已经成功地将复杂的IGT系统商业化。在过去两年IGT研究者之间的会议中，达成了一个共识，即社区必须合作解决几个关键领域，以达到IGT研究和开发的影响和效率的下一个水平，以改善患者护理。这些会议的高潮是一个为期两天的研讨会，今天聚集了该领域的几位学术和工业领导人。研讨会的目标是确定IGT研究人员可用的工程基础设施的差距，发展研究资助机构和最近成立的美国国家图像引导治疗中心（NCIGT）的作用，并最终促进由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）赞助的研究中心之间的技术转移。研讨会讨论了当前在开发和部署新IGT系统方面面临的许多挑战。确定了若干领域的关键挑战，包括：验证标准;工作流程、用例和应用程序要求;组件可重用性;以及设备接口标准。本报告详细阐述了这些关键点，并提出了学术界，工业界和NIH参与者之间共同努力解决的研究挑战。(c)2007年由Elsevier Inc.出版
System development for image-guided therapy (IGT), or image-guided interventions (IGI), continues to be an area of active interest across academic and industry groups. This is an emerging field that is growing rapidly: major academic institutions and medical device manufacturers have produced IGT technologies that are in routine clinical use, dozens of high-impact publications are published in well regarded journals each year, and several small companies have successfully commercialized sophisticated IGT systems. In meetings between IGT investigators over the last two years, a consensus has emerged that several key areas must be addressed collaboratively by the community to reach the next level of impact and efficiency in IGT research and development to improve patient care. These meetings culminated in a two-day workshop that brought together several academic and industrial leaders in the field today. The goals of the workshop were to identify gaps in the engineering infrastructure available to IGT researchers, develop the role of research funding agencies and the recently established US-based National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT), and ultimately to facilitate the transfer of technology among research centers that are sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Workshop discussions spanned many of the current challenges in the development and deployment of new IGT systems. Key challenges were identified in a number of areas, including: validation standards; workflows, usecases, and application requirements; component reusability; and device interface standards. This report elaborates on these key points and proposes research challenges that are to be addressed by a joint effort between academic, industry, and NIH participants.
