Computer Aided Surgery is a rapid growing interdisciplinary field. The Asian Conference on Computer Aided Surgery series (ACCAS) is designed to provide a venue in Asia for academic researchers, clinical scientists, surgeons and industrial partners to exchange new ideas as well as the latest development in the field. ACCAS is also interested to promote collaborations in the field for people from different countries, and different disciplines.   

The 1st Asian Conference on Computer Aided Surgery was held in Japan in 2005. The 2nd conference was held in conjunction with the 2006 World Congress of Medical Physics and Bio-engineering in Korea last year. The 3rd Asian Conference on Computer Aided Surgery will be held in Singapore on Dec 1-2, 2007.  The conference will be hosted by the Nanyang Technological University (www.ntu.edu.sg) and organized by the Society of Simulation and Gaming of Singapore.

The conference program includes Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished researchers in this field.

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers working in the areas of Computer Aided Surgery to discuss the state of the art of the relevant topics shown as follows:

·         Medical Image Computing and Visualization

·         Tissue Modeling

·         Simulation and Gaming for CAS

·         CAS Education

·         Medical robotics and Instrumentation

·         Virtual and Augmented Reality for CAS

·         Surgical Navigation

·         Clinical Application of CAS

·         CAS for Minimally Invasive Intervention

·         Telemedicine

Oral presentation and Poster presentation session will be organized.

Abstract submission deadline is August 31st, 2007.  Abstract should not be more than 2 pages.  To submit your papers, please click here.

Submitted papers will be subject to a peer review process. All papers will be published in CDROM. Selected best papers will be invited to re-submit enhanced version for the publication in a special issue with the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (Springer). Selected papers on using Simulation and Gaming technology for Computer Aided Surgery applications will be recommended for the possible publication with the Journal Simulation and Gaming (Sage).

Further details can be found at the ACCAS2007 conference website (http://www.accas2007.org).
