SACAI Workshop at MICCAI 2013

• Date: September 26, 2013
• Venue: Toyoda Auditorium Complex, Higashiyama Campus, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan

SACAI 2013 is a workshop of MICCAI 2013. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for sharing developments in systems and architectures for computer assisted intervention (CAI) applications. Continuing the success of the last five years, the workshop will focus on open interfaces, interoperability, and standards. This sixth edition will include a broader forum for poster/interactive demonstrations, and expert panel insights into practical issues, clinical applications and future directions of CAI systems and frameworks. As in its previous iterations, the workshop will continue the tradition of strong participation from both industry and academia.

• Architectures and frameworks for Computer Assisted Interventions & Surgery
• Open source / creative commons activities for Computer Assisted Interventions & Surgery
• Systems / hardware integration
• Digital operating room
• Applications for Computer Assisted Interventions & Surgery
• Applications for medical staff / patient communication
• Progress and status of standardization, such as DICOM, IHE, CANopen, ISO 11073, MD FIRE, MD ICE, IEC 80001
• Open issues in the standardization process, e.g. semantics, standardized descriptions of components and device communication
• Regulatory and liability issues and solutions for the modularization of CAI systems
• Opportunities for further integration, interoperability and/or usability
• Discussion of successes and unmet needs
