Three tutorials will be given on 1 October 2006. Below, please find the key information regarding these tutorials.
T1: Tutorial on Image-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy
| Speakers: | Michael Kaus, Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg (Coordinator)
Jonathan Knisely, Yale University School of Medicine and Yale Cancer Center, New Haven
Cynthia Ménard, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto
Kristy Brock, University of Toronto
Uulke van der Heide, Department of Radiotherapy, University Medical Center Utrecth
Jim Duncan, Diagnotstic Radioloy and Electrical Engineering, Yale University |
| Abstract: | This tutorial will introduce the field of cancer treatment and radiation therapy; highlight state-of-the-art research in image-guided and adaptive RT; biological Image-based assessment of of tumor; image processing and analysis methodology in the context of image-guided adaptive radiotherapy; and outline current and future challenges and opportunities. |
| Time: |
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. |
| Venue: |
IT University of Copenhagen, Auditorium 4 |

T2: Tutorial on Medical Robotics and Computer-Integrated Surgery
| Speakers: | Gabor Fichtinger, Engineering Research Center for
Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technologies (ERC-CISST), Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (Coordinator)
Gregory D. Hager, ERC-CISST, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
Peter Kanzanzides, ERC-CISST, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
Russell H. Taylor, ERC-CISST, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore |
| Abstract: | This tutorial will broadly survey the spectrum of robotically assisted Computer-Integrated Surgical (CIS) systems currently available and under
development. Two system paradigms, surgical CAD-CAM and surgical assistance, will be introduced. The general structure of these systems will be discussed, and several specific examples will be presented. In the area of surgical CAD-CAM, a detailed description of several percutaneous robotic systems, with particular emphasis on prostate cancer interventions will be presented. This will be followed by a discussion of current developments in the area of assistance methods for minimally invasive surgery. Finally, a discussion of medical robot system development tools and processes will close the tutorial. |
| Time: |
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 (noon) |
| Venue: |
IT University of Copenhagen, Lecture Room 3A14 |

T3: Tutorial on Neuromorphometry
| Speakers: |
James Gee, University of Pennsylvania (Coordinator)
Brian Avants, University of Pennsylvania
Paul Yushkevich, University of Pennsylvania
Colin Studholme, University of California, San Francisco
Sarang Joshi, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill |
| Abstract: |
This tutorial will survey contemporary approaches to
quantify and map the imaged anatomy of the brain in health
and disease. Specific studies will be presented, with
each serving as a basis for introducing different state-of-the-art
methods in computational anatomy. Discussions will highlight
open issues and future avenues for research in neuromorphometry.
Although the emphasis will be on neuroimaging, a majority
of the methods apply to images of other structures and
organ systems. |
| Time: |
1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. |
| Venue: |
IT University of Copenhagen, Lecture Room 2A12 |
