June 24 – 27
Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery 29th International Congress and Exhibition
Barcelona, Spain
The CARS Congress Organizing Committee invites you to come to Barcelona in June 2015, for an extraordinary event in which scientific/medical presentations as well as stimulating discussions will foster new visions on the future of medicine.
At CARS you will have the opportunity to meet scholars and practising experts in the fields of radiology, surgery, engineering, informatics and healthcare management who have an interest in topics, such as
advanced medical imaging
image- and model-guided interventions
image processing and visualization
intelligent operating room of the future
decision and action support in surgical management
computer aided diagnosis
medical simulation and evaluation, and e-Learning
surgical navigation and robotics
model-guided and personalised medicine
New PACS applications, including IT-infrastructures adapted for the operating room, related results from the DICOM and IHE working groups, but in particular, new methods and IT-tools for modelling the patient and medical processes are increasingly shaping the scope of CARS. Clinical specialties represented at CARS include:
Computer Aided Neuro-, ENT-, Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery, Cardiovascular- and Thoracic Surgery, Gastroenterological-, Gynaecological- and Urological Surgery
Imaging and Interventional Radiology
Computed Maxillofacial Imaging
Computer Assisted Radiation Therapy
Image Guided Navigation Surgery
Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery

57th ASTRO Annual Meeting
Technology Meets Patient Care
San Antonio, Texas, USA
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer deaths worldwide are projected to continue to rise to more than 11 million in 2030. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2014 1.67 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed. Nearly two-thirds of these patients will receive radiation therapy during their illness – most with the intent to cure the cancer. Advances in the applications, technologies and methodologies of radiation oncology continue to evolve rapidly and the delivery of radiation therapy has become more complex, making it imperative that the radiation oncology professional remain current in the state-of-the-art techniques. The American Society for Radiation Oncology is committed to providing educational programming that creates a forum for global collaboration on issues in radiation oncology to improve professional practice by increasing their level of knowledge, as required to improve competency and performance in the field of oncology.
