- computer-assisted therapy and therapy planning
- intra-operative imaging
- localization technologies and navigation systems
- tracking and calibration
- image-to-patient registration for surgery and intervention
- robotic interventions and surgical tools
- robot-assisted tools for patient management
- safety and standards for image-guided and robotic procedures
- mathematical modeling to guide and understand therapy
- modeling and analysis of procedures and workflows
- surgical process modeling
- techniques in population-based and patient-specific model generation
- image-based models for characterization of tissue and disease
- medical image-based simulation and training
- augmented/virtual/mixed reality visualization
- 3D/stereoscopic visualization
- novel interfaces for therapy and visualization of data
- high-performance computing for real-time modeling and/or large dataset visualization
- surgical/interventional data science
- machine-learning and artificial intelligence for surgical/interventional/therapeutic applications
- clinical applications and technology integration
- interventional/therapeutic assessment and prediction
- other related areas.
Submissions that cross over between this conference and others at SPIE Medical Imaging, and which would be appropriate for combined sessions, are also welcome.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
