This course is designed as an introduction to computer-integrated surgery (CIS). In addition to gaining an overview of each major component of a CIS system, you will learn basic concepts applicable to these systems. CIS components will be reviewed through applications and clinical systems currently in use or under development.
Required Texts: There is no required text. Course materials will be self-contained and sufficient.
Recommended Text: Taylor, Lavalee, Burdea, Moesges, Computer Integrated Surgery, MIT Press, 1995.
Course Topics: This course essentially focuses a week on each major component of CIS, including an overview of CIS, followed by introduction to imaging, navigation/registration, and intervention systems.

Homework is due the
next Monday from assignment.
Grading: Your final grade will be a combination of two homework assignments, and an essay.
Collaboration: Students are encouraged to discuss problems presented or solved in class (and not assigned) however you are expected to work alone on the homework.
Attendance: You are expected to attend and actively participate in class sessions. This foundation course tries to present a large area of research in very few lectures. Inevitably, students who do not attend regularly will find the assignments difficult. You are responsible for all material presented while you are absent. If you have trouble or need extra help, don't hesitate to contact me.
Ethics Policy: Usual JHU and department of computer science ethics policies. Please see the ethics board website (http://ethics.jhu.edu) for details.
