Introduction to Computer-Integrated Surgery


Description

This course will give an introduction to the concepts and major elements of computer-integrated surgery (CIS) through clinical applications. Students will learn to ask questions and look for answers the way clinical engineers build and analyze CIS systems. Major topics will include medical imaging, image processing, surgical planning, surgical robotics, robot navigation, systems integration, and clinical validation. No computer programming will be necessary to complete the assignments.
