Objectives

The objective of this workshop is discuss state-of-art in medical image processing and computer assisted intervention of prostate, In this half-day workshop, we will share our recent advances and identify translational technologies useful in clinical application of prostate diagnosis and threpy. We will also identify possible synergies among the participants and potential future collaboration.
