The goal of this workshop is to bring together Research Clinicians in Image-Guided Therapy (IGT) for a 2-day workshop to share their recent advances and to identify synergies in future strategy. The intent of the workshop is to foster community-based development, to share best practices in the clinical deployment of such systems, to identify gaps in the existing infrastructure available to IGT research clinicians, and ultimately to facilitate the transfer of knowledge among NIH-sponsored research centers.

This “Clinical Image-Guided Therapy: Opportunities and Needs” workshop is being hosted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and the National Center for Image-Guided Therapy (NCIGT) at the Harvard School of Medicine.

The workshop will concentrate on the clinical aspects of IGT systems, as the technological aspects have been covered in a similar workshop in 2006. The agenda will include (a) keynote talks that will review clinical aspects of IGT, (b) talks by NCIGT leadership to summarize the progress made by the center since its inception, as well as (c)talks by principal investigators of several recently IGI grants funded recently by the NIH. Breakout sessions will follow in which the participants will receive hands-on tutorials on clinical IGT applications developed by NCIGT.

This workshop will be composed of eight scientific sessions in areas of neuro-, prostate, and body interventions, focused ultrasound, and targeted drug-delivery, as well as imaging, computation, and visualization technologies in support of image-guided therapies (IGT). There will also be three parallel hands-on breakout sessions focused on various applications of the Slicer visualization modules.  We expect attendance by the members of the academia, industry, and federal agencies interested in the field of image-guided interventions.

The overall goal of this workshop is to asses the current needs and opportunities in the field of image-guided interventions and NCIGT’s role as a national center in relation to the greater IGT community.

Goal

This “Clinical Image-Guided Therapy: Opportunities and Needs” workshop is being hosted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and the National Center for Image-Guided Therapy (NCIGT) at the Harvard School of Medicine.

This workshop will be composed of eight scientific sessions in areas of neuro-, prostate, and body interventions, focused ultrasound, and targeted drug-delivery, as well as imaging, computation, and visualization technologies in support of image-guided therapies (IGT). There will also be three parallel hands-on breakout sessions focused on various applications of the Slicer visualization modules. We expect attendance by the members of the academia, industry, and federal agencies interested in the field of image-guided interventions.

The overall goal of this workshop is to asses the current needs and opportunities in the field of image-guided interventions and NCIGT’s role as a national center in relation to the greater IGT community. In order to best achieve this goal it is important for all participants to attend both days of the workshop.
