Symposium Organizers
M. Shoham DSc Technion -- Israel Institute of Technology
L. Joskowicz PhD The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
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 five ISRACAS
symposia, held in May since 1998 in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel-Aviv. Each
was attended by over 150 participants including clinicians, industry, and
engineering academia. The one-day events included four to six invited
speakers, 15 oral presentations of refereed papers, industrial exhibits,
and system demonstrations. Abstracts of selected peer-reviewed papers were
published in the Journal of Computer-Aided Surgery.
Symposium format
This year we will continue with the one-day symposium consisting of three
to four invited talks by internationally recognized experts, about 15 paper
presentations, a special industrial session, and project and product
exhibits.
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
All medical specialties include but are not limited to:
- radiology
- orthopaedics and traumatology
- laparoscopy, endoscopy, arthroscopy
- neurosurgery
- cardio-vascular surgery
- minimally invasive surgery
- urology
- craniofacial surgery and dentistry
Submissions
Full-length technical papers (up to 10 pages) or extended abstracts (3-5
pages) of surveys, clinical studies, position papers, and panel topics for
presentation at the Symposium are solicited. Submissions will be reviewed
by members of the local and international program committee. Accepted
extended abstracts will be published in a pre-prints booklet to be
distributed to Symposium participants. In addition, abstracts of the papers
will be published in the Journal of Computer-Aided Surgery.
Authors should send electronic copies in Word (preferred), LaTeX, ASCII, or
PDF to Prof. Joskowicz at josko@cs.huji.ac.il.
