B2: Introduction to CAOS for technologists new to the activity

Computer assisted surgery, including new technologies of intraoperative 3D imaging, is indispensable in orthopaedic and trauma surgery since many years. This workshop is aiming at students and young engineers, providing an overview on the actual status of CAOS in clinical use.

For future developments, an intense dialogue between developers, researchers and physicians is essential. Efficient research must be orientated on clinical problems and needs. For that purpose an understanding of special conditions in the operation room and of limitations of existing technology is very important. The common goal of engineers and clinicians is the development of more precise, more reliable, simpler and - last but not at least - more cost efficient systems for relevant and demanding problems.

This workshop is conducted by physicians with many years of personal experience in computer assisted orthopaedic surgery. It will provide its participants with the unique opportunity of getting personal contact for questions and for discussion.
