Conference: Medical Imaging – New Perspectives and the Role of OCT
November 8, 2018, 10.00-16.30 h, Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU), Yayoi Memorial Lecture Hall
Medical imaging is undergoing a dynamic transformation and the need for better imaging for diagnostics and therapy is making ever greater demands on technology: the importance of intraoperative imaging and the simultaneous increase in minimally invasive procedures are also increasing the need for intelligent solutions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can make a valuable contribution here.
The conference "Medical Imaging – New Perspectives and the Role of OCT" was dedicated to the clinical needs and requirements as well as the technical possibilities of medical imaging. The focus was on OCT technology, which can not only improve clinical workflows for physicians, but also reduce the clinical strain on patients. One of the most important application fields is the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.
During the event, renowned representatives from industry, clinics and research presented trends, application examples and technical development approaches in numerous lectures. The conference was jointly organized by Fraunhofer and TWMU/ABMES as part of the joint “OCTmapp” project and addressed clinical experts, technical experts, business development managers, funding agencies, scientists and representatives of academic institutions.
