This critical volume focuses on the use of medical imaging medical robotics simulation and
information technology in surgery. Part I discusses computational surgery and disease
management and specifically breast conservative therapy abdominal surgery for cancer vascular
occlusive disease and trauma medicine. Part II covers the role of image processing and
visualization in surgical intervention with a focus on case studies. Part III presents the
important role of robotics in image driven intervention. Part IV provides a road map for
modeling simulation and experimental data. Part V deals specifically with the importance of
training in the computational surgery area.
