NIH/AAOS Workshop on New Engineering Technology Transfer in Orthopaedics

9813467 Chao该奖项为将于1998年4月30日至1998年5月3日举行的“骨科新工程技术转让研讨会”的出版物提供部分支持。研讨会的与会者将讨论数字图像图形，机器人技术和计算机信息学的新兴技术，这些技术已经在研究，教育和病人护理方面对医学和外科产生了重大影响。与会者包括来自美国和国外的青年科学家和其他研究人员，他们对有关技术和其他学科有着浓厚的兴趣和专门知识，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。坦率地回顾这些新工具在该领域不同子专业中的问题、需求和可能性，对于正确评估该技术在骨科手术和康复医学中的潜在价值是适当和必要的。 为了使医疗机器人、虚拟现实模型、远程医疗/远程手术、计算机辅助手术和术前规划在骨科医学的未来中发挥重要作用，必须仔细定义和审查其适当的范围和相关的应用领域。已为研讨会结果的出版准备了详细的计划。 出版物，利用广泛的彩色图形，将是一本平装书，光盘，和一个互联网网站。

9813467ChaoThis award provides partial support for publications that will result from a "Workshop on New Engineering Technology Transfer in Orthopaedics" to be held April 30, 1998 through May 3, 1998. 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.***
