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

即将到来的用于手术和治疗的智能、图像引导机电一体化技术革命将为医疗保健系统带来重大利益，并具有巨大的商业收益潜力。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入了解，而且需要在机电一体化，工程设计，医疗机器人，医学成像，生物力学，触觉和人机交互、可视化和基于虚拟现实的模拟。CAMI计划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，一群具有不同专业知识的顶尖研究人员将在其中合作，培训介入技术以及手术和治疗技术方面的下一代研究人员。

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.
