Title: Robotic Imaging, Machine Learning and Augmented Reality for Multimodal Intra-operative Imaging and visualization
Time：     14:00-15:00, October25 Friday,2019
Location:   Room 201, Mathematical Building
Lecturer：Prof. Nassir Navab 

Abstract:
In this talk, I will present an overview of our most recent advancements in Robotic Imaging, Machine Leaning and Medical Augmented Reality. I will first discuss the particular requirements for intra-operative imaging and visualization. I will then present some of our latest results in intra-operative multimodal robotic imaging and its translation to clinical applications. I will then discuss the impact of research advancement in machine learning on medical imaging and computer assisted intervention. I will finally present some applications of virtual and augmented reality in the medical domain. Starting by the current deployment of AR and VR technology within medical education, I discuss its current and future impact on surgical education and training. I will then review the first deployment of augmented reality into operating rooms in the last two decades and present some of our latest achievements in this field (see also:  https://www.medicalaugmentedreality.org/).
