1.5. Characteristics Of The Field

1.5.1. Mental Exercise / Discussion

Briefly discuss: How easy is it to deploy a new technique in the following scenarios:

  • MRI pulse sequence programming

  • Imaging based cross-sectional studies

  • Imaging based longitudinal studies

  • Computer-Assisted Surgery system

i.e. each has its own complexity. We are not suggesting a competition, where one type of research is deemed harder or easier!!!

1.5.2. Characteristics of CAS

  • Patient specific

  • Real-time in OR

  • Time sensitive

  • Safety critical

  • Integration with workflow

  • Multiple users and perspectives
