“机构理论与装备设计”教育部重点实验室 学术报告会

Kevin Cleary, PhD, the Technical Director of the Bioengineering Initiative at the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Medical. He received Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Duke University, and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. Dr. Cleary’s dissertation research involved software development and computer graphics for robotic manipulators.

Dr. Cleary moved to Georgetown University in 1996 as an Assistant Professor after several years working in technology position at NASA and the DOD, which marked the start of his medical research career. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001, and full Professor in 2010. Dr. Cleary is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Medicine, and also serve on the editorial board for the journal Computer Aided Surgery. Dr. Cleary has served on numerous conference committees and is the co-chair of the SPIE Medical Imaging Meeting.

Dr. Cleary has worked in the field of computer-aided surgery, focusing on developing technology for minimally invasive procedures for the last ten years. He is personally familiar with most of the leaders in a wide range of research disciplines, including robotics, modeling, visualization, and computer- integrated surgery. Dr. Cleary is the sole author or co-author of over 50 scientific publications, including over 15 peer-reviewed journal articles, 35 peer-reviewed conference papers, two book chapters, one U.S. patents, and one edited book.

报告摘要： This talk will present technology developments and clinical applications in the recently established Bioengineering Initiative in the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA. The technology developments include medical robotics, image registration and fusion, and image-guided navigation for pediatric interventions. The clinical applications include laparoscopic abdominal surgery, knee arthoscopy, craniosynostosis, ureteroscopy, and cochlear implant surgery. The institute includes scientists, radiologists, and surgeons that are dedicated to improving the precision and decreasing the invasiveness of pediatric procedures
