Surgical and Interventional Engineering
Course Overview
Surgical and Interventional Engineering (SIE) is an integral part of advancing the state of medical interventions through integrating novel sensing, robotics, and artificial intelligence. SIE research aims to optimise surgery and intervention for timely, personalised, and cost-effective therapies in the operating theatre of the future.
Course Features
SIE encompasses interventional planning making use of AI and computational modelling, and the development of miniature surgical tools and imaging instrumentation for safe and effective navigation and manipulation of tissue. SIE also interconnects classical medical imaging and navigation technology with novel molecular-level imaging sensors and dexterous actuators on a high-speed network bus to leverage interoperability, off-site computational capabilities, and BigData streams to deliver AI-based intraoperative decision support and surgical assistance.
Course Content
The course includes a series of lectures on the topics of novel instrumentation for optimal surgery, and navigation algorithms for precise interventions.
- Our speakers will include Prof. Sebastien Ourselin, Dr. Rachel Clough, Dr. Michael Ebner, Prof. Daniel Elson, Dr. Clare Heaysman, Dr. Anna Barnes, Prof. Jo Hajnal, Prof. Prokar Dasgupta, Dr. Rachel Sparks, Prof. Tom Vercauteren, Dr. Sophia Bano, Dr. Erwin Alles, and Dr. Wenfeng Xia.
Learning Outcomes
The course will educate post-graduate research (PGR) students and research professionals on both technical and clinical advances in Surgical and Interventional Engineering.
Entry Requirements
This course is for post-graduate students, and research professionals from academia and industry working on the domain of Surgical and Interventional Engineering and aligned domains (e.g. Medical Imaging, Computer-Assisted Interventions, Instrumentation and Robotics).
