Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Queen's University
$200,000.00
Surgical Data Science
FY 2023-24
Summary
This research program will concentrate on Surgical Data Science, specifically on novel
technologies for minimally invasive medical interventions performed under computational image
guidance. I aim to transcend human limitations in the accuracy and precision of image-guided
intervention performance and in training physicians for these procedures. Specifically, I will develop
and translate to actual clinical practice the following innovative methods: (1) novel
electromagnetically navigated instruments, intra-operative biomechanical image fusion methods
and surgical navigation software for soft tissue tumor resection, first demonstrated in breast cancer
surgery; (2) a new generation of training methods and systems for quantitative skill and
competence assessment in image-guided needle placement intervention training.
