TITLE:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bringing New Technology into the Interventional Radiology Suite: Integration vs Workflow<\/p>\n SPEAKER:<\/strong>\u00a0 Filip Banovac, MD, FSIR Chief of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, VUMC & Michael I. Miga, PhD Harvie Branscomb Professor, Department of BME, VU<\/p>\n DATE:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thursday, April 14th<\/sup>, 2016<\/p>\n TIME:<\/strong> 12:20pm Start, 12:15 Lunch<\/p>\n PLACE:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stevenson Center 5326<\/p>\n ABSTRACT:<\/strong>\u00a0 Interventional Radiology, as a modern and technologically advanced area in patient care, significantly depends on adoption of new technologies.\u00a0 In turn, theses advances can be readily applied, as the techniques in interventional radiology are always evolving and are hungry to adopt better tools.\u00a0 However, much like in the operating room, standard processes before, during, and after the procedure have a certain degree of rigidity.\u00a0 Some of these are a result of regulatory mandates, but many are simply an evolution of how an interventionalist or a surgeon prefer to perform certain tasks.\u00a0 When a new technology is brought into this theater, it is not only imperative that it performs the intended function, but it has to do this without disrupting the workflow of the interventional suite.\u00a0 Without keeping this in mind, a good technology can fail, despite performing quite well on the bench top or the animal lab.\u00a0 In this dual format seminar, Dr. Banovac will address this balance between workflow and integration while Dr. Miga address an example some very recent work-flow friendly technology integration concerned with image-to-physical nonrigid registration for liver applications.<\/p>\n
