SACAI Workshop at MICCAI 2008

Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI 2008, New York, NY)

miccai-2008-logo

The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open source toolkits and open interfaces and how they have been applied in the development of computer assisted intervention systems. The intent is to establish a dialogue between the open source community, industry, and researchers in the field. The workshop will include presentations and panel discussions about: 1) existing open source toolkits, 2) open (research) interfaces to medical products, and 3) integrated systems for computer assisted interventions.

One outcome of the workshop will be a technical paper (white paper) that will be submitted for review to the International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery. If completed by Oct 2, 2008, the paper will be considered for a special issue on New Technologies.
