Premier Medical Imaging Conference Broadens Its Disciplinary Focus
 More than 800 of the world's leading biomedical imaging scientists will gather in Brisbane, Australia for MICCAI 2007. MICCAI 2007 will have a strong focus on certain areas of contemporary importance including microscopy and molecular imaging, thereby broadening the scope of content and expertise.
Growing Interest in CAT Research in Asia Pacific
 With China, in particular, experiencing strong demands for higher standard medical care, the government has provided heavy investment of funds into medical research and more local research institutes are establishing Computer Assisted Therapy (CAT) labs and projects.
Transorbital Endoscopic Image Guidance with Aurora
 The area behind the eye is one of the last 'invisible' spaces in the body. Introducing image guidance to the transorbital endoscopic procedure may solve the problem of navigation, hopefully one day replacing the traditional operating room approach of the invasive and risk laden orbitotomy with a procedure room treatment application.
Aurora Tracking Needle
 The Aurora Tracking Needle is designed to show how precise interventions could be supported by the Aurora System. The needle is inserted into tissue and the location of the tip is monitored by the Aurora System.
IGSTK: An Open Source Software Toolkit for Image-Guided Surgery
The Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK) is designed to enable biomedical researchers to rapidly prototype and create new applications for image-guided surgery. The cornerstone of IGSTK is robustness.
Active Versus Passive Tracking
When choosing which Polaris system configuration to purchase, either passive or hybrid, the key points and differences of each technology should be considered. Some of the points are related to the system hardware and some to the tool properties that are tracked by each system.
