  • ISRACAS'2000 Program and Call for Participation

    Dear colleagues,

    We are pleased to announce the program of ISRACAS'2000, the Third Israeli
    Symposium on Computer-Aided Surgery, Medical Robotics, and Medical Imaging,
    which be held at the Technion on May 18, 2000.

    The program includes five distinguished speakers, 14 refereed paper
    presentations, and a "Perspectives from Industry" session in which
    companies will describe technical aspects of their state of the art
    products.

    Below is enclosed the call for participation with all the details of the
    program and registration, which can also be found on the Symposium web site:

    http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~josko/isracas2000.html

    Please note that early registration ends on May 1st. We encourage you to
    register early, as the number of participants is limited.

    You are most welcome to forward and distribute the call to all interested
    parties.

    Looking forward to seeing you at the Symposium,

    Goal

    The goal of the Symposium is to convene in Israel clinicians, scientists,
    and engineers actively interested in medical imaging, computer science, and
    robotics, and their application to the planning, monitoring, and execution
    of medical surgeries. The symposium is the sequel of the first and second
    ISRACAS symposia, held on May 4th, 1998 at Technion, and May 6, 1999 at the
    Hebrew University. Each was attended by over 150 participants (evenly
    distributed between clinicians, industry, and engineering academia).

    Symposium format

    The one-day events included five invited speakers, 14 oral presentations of
    refereed papers, and an industrial perspectives session..

    Symposium Topics

    Relevant research in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering,
    Biomechanics, and Electrical Engineering including but not limited to:

    - multi-modal image reconstruction and segmentation
    - architectures, control, and applications of medical robots
    - virtual and augmented reality surgery, telesurgery
    - image and sensor data registration
    - computer-aided diagnosis and preoperative planning
    - intraoperative surgical monitoring, support, and planning
    - surgical simulators, anatomical modeling, atlases
    - safety issues in computer-assisted surgery
