Symposium Organizers
L. Joskowicz, Phd, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem
M. Shoham, Phd, The Technion
The goal of the symposium is to convene for the first time 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 two-day
symposium on Computer-Integrated Surgery will include survey talks by
internationally recognized experts, presentations of contributed papers,
panel discussions, and system demonstrations.
Extended abstracts (2-5 pages) of technical papers, 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 preprints booklet to be distributed to Symposium
participants. Authors should send either electronic copies (ASCII, LaTeX,
or Postscipt) or hard-copies (3 sets) by NOVEMBER 15st, 1997 to the address
below.
