Advances in Model Guided Surgery and Intervention

Watch a 29-minute lecture from the Bookout Center symposium for Robotics, Imaging, and Digital Surgery where Dr. Michael I. Miga, Harvie Branscomb Professor and Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering, explores the future of model-guided surgical interventions. Discover how computational models driven by sparse procedural data can enhance surgical guidance and therapy delivery, despite current limitations in procedural medicine. Learn about emerging treatment platform technologies designed for both treatment and discovery, incorporating biophysical models, automation methods, procedural field surveillance, and disease phenotypic biomarkers. Understand the critical factors shaping future surgical systems, including data integration, automation, real-time computation, cost considerations, and economic scalability.
