Surgical Vision and Biophotonics
One Day BMVA technical meeting
www.bmva.org/meetings
Chairs: Danail Stoyanov(UCL), Dan Elson (Imperial)
Imaging is a critical element of modern surgical practice both for diagnosis and interventional treatment. With the increasing prevalence of minimally invasive surgical techniques, a wide spectrum of imaging methods are used to look at the internal anatomy and interrogate the interaction between light, sound, radiation and tissue. The acquired information presents diverse computational challenges for modelling, processing, fusing and understanding surgical images.
To promote this emerging synergy between biophotonics, optical imaging and computer vision within the context of surgery we invite abstracts in the following areas:

Quantitative endoscopy and surgical vision
Non-rigid structure from motion
Reconstruction, inference and signal enhancement
Image-based tissue characterization for diagnosis and function
Novel biophotonic imaging techniques
Multimodal image-registration for intra-operative guidance
Robot-assisted imaging and image-guided robotics
Advanced intra-operative surgical visualisation
We wish to promote an active discussion between multi-disciplinary researchers with short presentations and ample time for questions. This is an emerging field and the interaction of computer science, physics and medicine will be an exciting event for all participants.
Call for Participation:
