Algorithms for Quantitative Image-Guided Therapy

 Image Guided Therapy is combining advances in imaging and therapeutic
 technology to develop minimally invasive surgical and interventional
 techniques. Advances in medical imaging provide an opportunity for
 improving the effectiveness and efficiency of health care. This talk
 will present some of the recent results in this area, obtained at the
 Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Several clinical
 applications requiring advanced quantitative image analysis will be
 demonstrated. The talk will conclude with an overview of the ongoing
 efforts aiming the development of the next generation of health care
 technology.
