Goal
The goal of the Symposium is to convene in Israel clinicians, scientists, and engineers actively interested in medical imaging, computer science, and robotics, and their application to the planning, monitoring, and execution of medical surgeries. The symposium is the sequel of ten ISRACAS symposia, held in May since 1998 in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel-Aviv. Each was attended by over 150 participants including clinicians, industry, and engineering academia. The one-day events included four to six invited speakers, 15 oral presentations of refereed papers, industrial exhibits, and system demonstrations.This year, we are please to announce that ISRACAS will be part of the Biomed 2008 Congress and Exhibition, 7th National Life Science and Technology Week, organized by the Israeli Life Science Industry Association and Kenes International. We believe that the inclusion of ISRACAS in Biomed will result in significant synergy and value added to both events.
Symposium format
This year we will continue with the one-day symposium consisting of two invited talks by internationally recognized experts, an industrial session, and oral presentations of original peer-reviewed papers.Invited Speakers
