Last year, when SPIE put out a Special Issue Call for Papers in SPIE\u2019s Journal of Medical Imaging, Harvie Branscomb Professor of Biomedical Engineering Michael I. Miga, PhD, proposed the first issue ever devoted specifically to image-guided procedures, robotic interventions and modeling.<\/p>\n

Not only did SPIE welcome the idea, but it has become the largest subscribed special issue to date with 30 papers submitted.<\/p>\n

\"\"Lead guest editor Miga, 91ºÚÁÏÍø Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) steering committee member, worked with guest editor, Amber Simpson, a VISE alumna currently in the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to ensure submitted papers were subject to vigorous peer evaluation by the SPIE Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures, Robotic Interventions, and Modeling Conference scientific review committee.<\/p>\n

Acceptance into the journal\u2019s special issue also included the opportunity to present during a special event workshop at the SPIE Medical Imaging 2018 conference. Dongqing Zhang, whose paper detailed post-operative process in cochlear implantation to improve hearing outcomes, was among the participants.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cI think the area of image-guided surgical procedures, robotic interventions and modeling has been very active and people in this field are indeed contributing greatly to humanity\u2019s welfare by developing cutting-edge engineering techniques for surgeries,\u201d said Zhang, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a graduate student, I am excited to author a journal paper as a part of this special issue. I see this as great recognition as well as encouragement from this research community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jon Heiselman, a graduate student in biomedical engineering and VISE trainee, was also afforded the special opportunity with his accepted journal paper.<\/p>\n

What began as a simple call for ideas, turned into an empowering experience for VISE graduate students, who through their work have the opportunity to impact medical advancements in patient care more quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeer reviewed journal papers are a big deal for our grad students,\u201d Miga said. \u201cOur students are expected to contribute to science and engineering in significant ways. The main metric used is a peer reviewed journal paper.\u00a0 The combination of the special issue publication and the special opportunity conference presentation allowed our scholars to amplify the impact of their cutting-edge VISE research.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
