The 9th Image Guided Therapy Workshop was successfully held with 98 registered attendees on March 14-15, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, One Bethesda Metro Center, Bethesda (1.301.657.1234).
The program was divided into 8 oral sessions and a poster session. It included 25 talks and 35 poster presentations. The oral sessions included Image-Guided Interventions, Surgery, Radiation Therapy, Perspectives from NCI, NIBIB, CSR, Perspectives from Industry, Novel Techniques for Living Tissue Microscopy and Spectroscopy, Robotics and Navigation, and Precision Therapy. The general chairs of this workshop were Drs. Tina kapur, Alexandra Golby, Sarah Frisken, William Wells, Noby Hata, and Jayender Jagadeesan of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, along with Dr. Maie St. John of University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Zion Tse, of University of Georgia, and Dr. Milind Rajadhyaksha of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The program chairs were Dr. Tina Kapur of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kevin Cleary of Children’s National Medical Center, and Dr. Keyvan Farahani of the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Dr. Steven Krosnick of National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, Dr. Kristy Brock of University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Background
The overall goal of this workshop series is to foster a discourse in translational research in image-guided therapy in the NIH-funded community, and to communicate the availability of NCIGT as a national resource for tools and technologies in the field. Similar to previous workshops in this series, attendees include members of academia, industry, and federal agencies interested in image-guided interventions.
