Computer-assisted interventions (CAI) is a field of research and practice, where medical interventions are supported by computer-based tools and methodologies. Examples include: *Medical robotics *Surgical and interventional navigation *Imaging and image processing methods for CAI *Clinical feasibility studies of computer-enhanced interventions *Tracked and guided biopsies *Alignment of pre-procedure images with the patient during the procedure *Intraoperative decision supports *Skill analysis and workflow studies in CAI *Clinical studies of CAI showing first-in-man or early efficacy results *User interfaces and visualization systems for CAI *Surgical and interventional systems *Novel surgical devices and sensors *User performance studies *Validation and evaluation of CAI technology The basic paradigm of patient-specific interventional medicine is a closed loop process, consisting of # combining specific information about the patient with the physician’s general knowledge to determine the patient’s condition; # formulating a plan of action; # carrying out this plan; and # evaluating the results. The experience gathered over many patients may be combined to improve treatment plans and protocols for future patients. This process has existed since ancient times. Traditionally, all these steps have taken place in the physicians head. The ability of modern computer-based technology to assist humans in processing and acting on complex information will profoundly enhance this process in the 21st Century. ==Methods== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Computer-assisted interventions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
