Abstract: Rapid technical advances in medical imaging and surgical robotics, including its growing application in therapy and interventional procedures, have attracted significant interest in the close integration of research in the life sciences, medicine, and engineering. Medical imaging is moving increasingly from a primarily diagnostic modality towards an intelligent therapeutic aid, driven by the streamlining of diagnostic and therapeutic processes for human disease by means of multi-modality imaging and robotic-assisted surgery. These processes can be used to direct image-guided interventions allowing physicians not just to perform molecular profiling of disease in microscopic level but also for planning and personalized treatment. Many surgical procedures are now performed with precise image guidance and 3D visualization tools to reduce error and increase accuracy of treatment. One interesting field of imaging technology is to use 3D autostereoscopic image, which displays spatial image without the need for special eyeglasses or tracking devices. The development of relative image overlay techniques makes it appear that the 3D image is inside the patient's body, and enables a medical augmented reality environment for minimally invasive surgery. The development and application of the minimally invasive precision diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for intelligent surgery based on bio-medical imaging, bio-robotics, precision and control engineering, as well as a fusional development of imaging modalities and surgical devices, will be also introduced in this lecture.
