Improving Research Translation In Image Guided Surgery

影像引导手术（IGS）研究的主要目的是将新技术引入临床，为患者提供靶向、微创和更成功的治疗。反过来，这可以改善恢复时间;降低NHS的成本和时间压力，并减轻临床团队的工作量。在越来越多的数据驱动的领域，医疗设备领域的创新已经转向人工智能，增强现实，决策辅助等，所有这些都以软件开发为基础，迫切需要这一领域的专业知识。我将提供软件工程的核心课程，为研究图像引导手术中人工智能应用的研究人员提供模拟软件，与云平台一起，简化手术室中新技术的部署，并与研究/临床团队为IGS项目提供定制支持。在奖学金的过程中，这将提高英国在医疗技术方面的能力，有助于更广泛地提供微创，成本效益高的手术干预;并通过消除与翻译新技术相关的挑战来提高研究和临床团队的生产力。

The key aim of research in Image Guided Surgery (IGS) is to bring new technologies to the clinic, providing targeted, less invasive and more successful treatment for patients. In turn, this can improve recovery times; reduce cost and time pressures on the NHS and ease the workload of clinical teams.In an increasingly data-driven field, innovation in the medical devices field has shifted towards AI, augmented reality, decision assistance etc., all of which are underpinned by software development, and there is an urgent need for dedicated expertise in this area.I will provide a core programme of software engineering, delivering simulation software for researchers working on AI applications in Image Guided Surgery, alongside a cloud platform to ease deployment of new technolgoies in the operating theatre and collaborate with research/clinical teams to provide bespoke support for IGS projects.Over the course of the fellowship,this will increase the UK's capability in healthcare technology, contribute to wider availability of minimally invasive, cost effective, surgical interventions; and increase the productivity of research and clinical teams by removing challenges associated with translating new techniques.
