Scope and Aim
The application of computer-aided planning, navigation and robotics in 
surgery provides significant advantages due to today^Òs sophisticated 
techniques of patient-data visualization in combination with the 
flexibility and precision of novel robots. Robotic surgery is going to 
revolutionize surgical procedures.
Augmented with 3D image-guidance technology these tools give finer 
control over sensitive movements in diseased areas and therefore, allow 
for more surgical procedures to be performed using minimally invasive 
techniques than ever before.

MRNV 2004 is a scientific workshop on new robotic procedures in all 
medical application areas. The workshop will bring together scientific, 
medical and application experts from university, clinical and commercial 
sites.

Topics and application areas
Workshop topics and application areas include (but are not limited to):
computer-aided planning, navigation technologies, movement tracking, 
patient fixation, medical micro robots, robotic instruments, robotic 
vision, accuracy analysis, intra-treatment visualization, control 
systems, haptic feed-back systems, safety issues, virtual-reality 
techniques, tele-manipulation, clinical case and evaluation studies.
