Rationale:A
novel partnership
between surgeons and machines, made possible by advances in computing
and engineering technology, could overcome many of the limitations of
traditional surgery. By extending the surgeons' ability to plan and
carry out surgical interventions more accurately and with less trauma,
Computer-Integrated Surgery (CIS) systems could help to improve
clinical outcomes and the efficiency of health care delivery. CIS
systems could have a similar impact on surgery to that long since
realized in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Mathematical
modeling and computer simulation have proved tremendously successful in
engineering. Computational mechanics has enabled technological
developments in virtually every area of our lives. One of the greatest
challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of computational
mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to
biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The proposed workshop will
provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to
present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their
techniques to computer-integrated medicine.
