Course description:
Computer assisted surgery applies computer technology and sets of concepts to improve surgical applications through intervention planning, intervention guidance and intervention outcome evaluation. This course introduces the concepts and methodologies of computer assisted surgery in general and emphasizes their clinical application. The course provides a comprehensive overview of the principal techniques for computer assisted surgery including transformational geometry, anatomy segmentation, surgical planning, patient to image registration, instrument calibration and tracking, optical navigation, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality, as well as how these theories and techniques can be applied to various clinical problems. The history, analytics and technical application of computer assisted surgery are studied in order to present a complete overview of this topic and to demonstrate the potential and the limitations of different techniques. Application of computer assisted surgical techniques to the fields of orthopaedics, neurosurgery, visceral surgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery are studied with the aim of arming students with the skills and knowledge to solve current clinical and scientific challenges including those pertaining to accuracy, usability and clinical benefit.
