Special Seminar: Engineering Augmented Vision Systems for Cancer Surgery and Radiotherapy

Optional ZOOM LINK
Meeting ID: 923 2628 0748
Passcode: 999229

Medical physics and engineering advance the field of imaging device discovery and invention, and the impact in oncology management is largely around augmenting what the interventionalist can see. This talk will discuss the areas of opportunity for system developments, covering basic NIH funding and startup opportunities for system development, using key examples.

Hosted by Professor Keith Paulsen

Lunch provided on a first-come first-serve basis

About the Speaker(s)

Brian Pogue
Professor of Medical Physics, U Wisconsin-Madison

Brian Pogue is chair of the Department of Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and professor of medical physics, radiology and human oncology, and adjunct professor of engineering at Dartmouth. Professor Pogue's work is in the area of invention or discovery in aspects of optical imaging that can be translated into systems that guide cancer intervention. Specifically, most work focuses on molecular sensing in tissue or visualization of x-ray induced light signals in tissue. Each of these is supported by NIH funding, and this translational work led to co-founding of three start-ups, including DoseOptics LLC which has now commercialized the first system to allow direct visualization of radiation dose delivery to radiotherapy patients. This work has led to 14 issued patents and 28 pending, and more than 550 peer-reviewed papers. Pogue is a Fellow of Optica, SPIE, AIMBE, AAPM and the National Academy of Inventors, and is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics, published by SPIE Press.
