4th Annual Intraoperative Imaging Technologies for Cancer Detection and Treatment

The overall goal of the course is to update the learner on the progress made in the area of image-guided intraoperative treatment of cancer, to enhance the understanding of current tools and highlight the next generation imaging technologies for improving cancer detection, treatment, and patient outcomes. The course will include didactic lectures and an interactive workshop featuring a unique pre-surgical planning solution.

This course is directed towards surgical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, engineers, research scientists and technologists.

In partnership with the MSK-Cornell Center for Translation of Cancer Nanomedicines.

1. Develop familiarity with photodynamic therapy as a targeted treatment for patients who have not responded to standard therapies.
2. Demonstrate new augmented reality and 3D technology applications to assist in surgical planning.
3. Review and highlight new advances of image guided technologies in clinical applications.
4. Facilitate integration of next-generation intraoperative imaging tools into clinical trial designs and routine practice.
