Optical Imaging in Neurosurgery 2024
This is an in-person activity.
The Optical Imaging in Neurosurgery Meeting is a gathering of optical imaging experts and neurosurgeons who share a common goal of improving visualization in surgery. This event aims to function both as a showcase of cutting-edge optical imaging technologies and a forum for addressing unmet clinical needs that could potentially be solved by optics-based methods. Through presentation and organized discussion, this meeting seeks to bridge the gap between technological advancement and clinical requirements.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for neurosurgeons, optical imaging specialists and engineers.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the latest advances in optical imaging that are suitable for neurosurgical applications.
- Identify current unmet needs in neurosurgical visualization.
- Recognize challenges associated with clinical translation of optical tools in neurosurgery.
