Goal
On behalf of 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 Brigham & Women’s Hospital, it is our pleasure to announce an upcoming workshop on “Clinical Image-Guided Therapy: Opportunities and Needs” and invite you to attend and participate in the workshop.
This workshop will be held on March 10-11 at the Rockville Hilton in Rockville, Maryland and will be composed of 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 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. The preliminary program for the workshop is currently available at www.ncigt.org, and further details on the program and the logistics will be available in January.
