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). The
one-day events included four to six invited speakers, 15 oral presentations
of refereed papers, and several system demonstrations. Abstracts of
selected peer-reviewed papers will be published in the Journal of
Computer-Aided Surgery.
Symposium format
The one-day symposium consists of four invited talks by internationally
recognized experts, 10-15 paper presentations, and project and product
exhibits. In addition, we are planning a special industrial 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
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 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 preprints booklet
to be distributed to Symposium participants. Authors should send either
electronic copies in ASCII, LaTeX, Word, or Postscript (preferred) or
hard-copies (3 sets) to the address below.
