SCATh and CASCADE presented at Catheter Robotics Workshop in the Hamlyn Symposium
Research results and outlook of future work for SCATh and CASCADE presented at the Hamlyn Symposium, good reactions from the public.
Results from SCATh and CASCADE were presented at the Catheter Robotics workshop in the Hamlyn Symposium in London, UK. The catheter robotics workshop attracted a large audience and was characterised by lively interaction with audience and organisers. The overview talk that was prepared:
the entire agenda was:
- Choayang Shi, Prof. Fukuda : Simulator-based Technologies for Evaluation of Surgical Tools and Skills
- Emmanuel Vander Poorten: Further Reducing Invasiveness of Catheter Procedures through Advanced Robot Technology and Assistance – results from FP7 projects SCATh, outlook to CASCADE
- Christopher Payne : A Force Feedback System for Endovascular Catheterisation
- Giovanni Leo: A Perfect Lesion
- Colin Bicknell : In the Cath Lab Today – What is missing ?
- Panel Discussion, Robotic Endovascular Intervention: From Expensive Luxury to Clinical Necessity.
To conclude, with Chaoyang Shi, Emmanuel Vander Poorten and Giovanni Leo the CASCADE members were very active in this workshop. A similar contribution in next year's workshop is hoped for.
