报告内容摘要

The advances in optical imaging and sensing technologies are feeding a revolutionary shift in the development of the next generation of smart surgical devices and systems.  Optical sensors/imagers and computers are integrated into surgical devices and systems that enable intelligent “smart” surgeries that allow surgical outcomes beyond free-hand human capabilities. In our laboratories, we have been developing real-time intraoperative optical coherence tomography systems specifically for the development of practical and smart microsurgical tools and 3-D image guided surgeries that enhance the surgeon’s ability to visualize optically transparent tissues, to identify and track visually transparent tissue edges, to maintain safe surgical positions, to detect early instrument contact with tissue and to assess depth of instrument penetration into tissues.  These innovations enhance the surgeon’s ability to achieve surgical objectives, diminish surgical risk, and improve outcomes.  In this talk, I will summarize our efforts and future directions.
