Presentation slideshow: PDF, not yet uploaded ( info )
Abstract:
Getting on the same page and co-designing hardware and software for interventional procedures and image guided therapy and surgery could revolutionize medicine.
Modern surgical standard of care practice operates in the dark with CT scan images hanging on the wall, and should be malpractice.
The gap between diagnosis and therapy in Surgery and Interventional Radiology will be reviewed, followed by a description of imaging modalities strengths and weaknesses as applied to novel multimodality devices and concepts.
