Professor Gabor Fichtinger is a Canada Research Chair in Computer-Integrated Surgery, at the School of Computing, Queen's University, Canada. His research and teaching interests are Computer-Assisted Interventions, involving medical imaging, medical image analysis, visualization, surgical planning and navigation, robotics, biosensors, and integrating these component technologies into workable clinical systems. He further specializes in minimally invasive percutaneous (through the skin) interventions performed under image guidance, with primary application in the detection and treatment of cancer. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, a member of the editorial board of Medical Image Analysis, and a deputy editor for the International Journal of Computer-Assisted Radiology and Surgery. He has served on the program and organizing committees of leading international conferences, including SPIE Medical Imaging and IPCAI; he was general co-chair for MICCAI 2011, and program co-chair for MICCAI 2008 and 2018. Professor Fichtinger is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of MICCAI. See less
