CARS 2010 (Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery), 24th international congress and exhibition will be held on June 23-26, 2010 at Geneva, Switzerland.

The CARS congress with its associated journal is a facilitator of innovation and an important contributor to modern medicine on a worldwide basis. Founded in 1985, CARS with its focus on research and development for computer assisted systems and their applications in radiology and surgery has played a leading role in medical informatics for 25 years. Its growth and impact is due to CARS’s close collaboration with the ISCAS, EuroPACS, CAR, CAD and CMI societies. Following the long term successful cooperation, they will jointly hold their annual meetings with CARS in Geneva in 2010.

In Geneva in June 2010, in the fields of radiology, surgery, engineering, informatics and/or healthcare management there will be interested topics, such as

• image guided interventions
• medical imaging
• image processing and visualization
• computer aided diagnosis
• surgical simulation
• surgical navigation and robotics
• model-guided therapy, and
• personalised medicine

New PACS applications, including IT-infrastructures adapted for surgery as well as related results from the DICOM and IHE working groups are also within the scope of CARS. Clinical specialties represented at CARS include:

Image Guided Tumor Ablation Therapies
Cardiovascular Imaging
Computed Maxillofacial Imaging
Computer Assisted Radiation Therapy
Computer Assisted Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery
Computer Assisted Head and Neck, and ENT Surgery
Image Guided Neurosurgery
Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular and Thoracoabdominal Surgery
