Course overview

"The online course will be delivered via MS Teams, using a combination of live & recorded lectures and interactive sessions.

Surgical and Interventional Engineering (SIE) is an integral part of endeavours to achieve cognitive sensor-guided robotically assisted surgery. Using interventional planning, AI, computational modelling, and advanced instrumentation, SIE promises personalised, and cost-effective therapies in the operating theatre of the future.

The operating theatre of the future will interconnect classical medical imaging and navigation technology with novel molecular-level imaging sensors and dexterous actuators on a high-speed network bus to leverage interoperability, off-site computational capabilities, and BigData streams thereby delivering AI-based intraoperative decision support and surgical assistance. This upcoming MedTech domain of cognitive sensor-guided surgery requires multi-disciplinary collaboration between hardware engineers, software engineers, and clinical scientists that understand the intricacies of the instruments and navigation technology that interlink within an operating theatre network. Further, to enable downstream translation of the research, these scientists must be capable of working effectively within an environment that respects and understands the constraints that surgical applications impose.

Surgical and Interventional Engineering (SIE) is an integral part of endeavours to achieve cognitive sensor-guided robotically assisted surgery. SIE encompasses interventional planning making use of AI and computational modelling, and the development of miniature surgical tools and imaging instrumentation for safe and effective navigation and manipulation. SIE research aims to optimise surgery and intervention for timely, personalised, and cost-effective therapies in the operating theatre of the future.

The School involves invited lectures from specialists in the domains of surgical and interventional engineering."
