Summary
This meeting was successfully held on October 19-20, 2006, with over 75 registered attendees. A summary white paper was published in: DiMaio S.P., Kapur T., Cleary K., Aylward S., Kazanzides P., Vosburgh K.G., Ellis R., Duncan J., Farahani K., Lemke H., Peters T., Lorensen W., Gobbi D., Haller J., Clarke L., Pizer S., Taylor R., Galloway Jr R., Fichtinger G., Hata N., Lawson K., Tempany C.M., Kikinis R., Jolesz F.A. Challenges in Image-guided Therapy System Design. NeuroImage 2007; 37(Suppl 1):S144-S151. PMID: 17644360.
Registration and Attendee List
Registration Fee: US $250.00 payable onsite only by check payable to "BWPO Radiology" or cash. We can not accept credit cards, or payments before the meeting.
Registration: Registration for this workshop is quite simple. To register, please follow two steps:
- Create an account for yourself on this wiki by clicking here Special:Userlogin
- After creating the account, go to the 2006 IGT Workshop Attendee List and add your name, Institution, an email address, and the name of the breakout session you will be attending on Friday.
Goal
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers developing Image-Guided Therapy (IGT) systems 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 engineering such systems, to identify gaps in the engineering infrastructure available to IGT researchers, and ultimately to facilitate the transfer of technology among NIH-sponsored research centers.
In this program, we define IGT systems as the integrated devices for therapy delivery that incorporate intra-operative medical imaging, navigation, or robotics. In the lectures and breakout groups of this two-day workshop, we plan to:
- discuss system architectures currently used in IGT systems
- identify challenges in the design and implementation of IGT systems
- identify gaps in the engineering infrastructure available to IGT researchers
- identify opportunities and mechanisms for sharing low-level components and high-level architectural design patterns, and
- identify opportunities for the National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT, http://www.ncigt.org) to help address these challenges and develop an open system architecture as part of its function as a biotechnology resource for the Image-Guided Therapy community.
The workshop will concentrate on the computer science and engineering aspects of such systems, as the clinical aspects have been covered in previous NIH-related workshops. The agenda will include plenary talks that will review technical aspects of IGT as well as breakout sessions in which the participants will concentrate on issues raised by the talks.
Background on this workshop: The initial idea of this workshop was developed in ad-hoc meetings with collaborators across institutions including Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, UNC, NIH, GE Global Research, Kitware Inc., and Brigham and Women's Hospital. The Program Committee welcomed and encouraged suggestions from the IGT community on the content of this workshop until mid July, 2006, when the program was finalized.
