CARS 2001; computer assisted radiology and surgery; proceedings. (International congress series 1230) by International Congress and Exhibition on Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (15th: 2001: Berlin) - 2001

Elsevier, 2001. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Now that physician suspicion of the shift from analog to digital technology has been somewhat allayed by developments in instrumentation and processing during the 1990s, the topics reflect the depth and spectrum of information technology in surgery and radiology. They also further the burgeoning collaboration between disciplines, encompassing not only medicine, but also engineering, informatics, and healthcare management, and to some extent even the apparently more difficult collaboration between medical specialties. The Congress, and the nearly 300 papers, represent annual conferences of several international societies. There is no subject index. (2001 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
