Ryerson, Sunnybrook, and the Universities of British Columbia and Colorado invite you to Image-Guided Therapeutics and Diagnostics.
November 17&18th, 2021 | 9:30 am - 12:30 pm (PST)
Building off the success of the IGT webinar series, Image-Guided Therapeutics and Diagnostics is a 2-day symposium that will bring together clinicians, researchers, students, and industry organizations who are interested in emerging diagnostic and therapeutic health technologies.
There will be invited talks on themes such as diagnostic imaging, artificial intelligence, and image-guided therapies for a multitude of applications. The symposium will provide an opportunity to network and identify opportunities for collaboration and partnership. The meeting will serve as a showcase for new innovations and products for industry partners.
Registration has closed.
Symposium Objectives:
- Create an interactive forum to hear talks about new innovations in image-guided diagnosis and therapy
- Talks will encompass all areas of healthcare where image guidance is in use from cancer treatment, joint replacement, and cardiovascular care.
- Academic speakers will be invited to talk about new discoveries in their area.
- Industry speakers will be invited to talk about new developments and products from their companies.
- Discussion about the need for collaboration, seeking expertise, and suggestions for future events will be encouraged!
The IGTD Committee believes diversity and inclusion fuel ideas and innovation. Our commitment to inclusion across age, race, gender, religion, expression, and identity is how we build our teams, foster collaboration, and create an environment reflective of the larger community.

keynote SPEAKERS
Dr. PURANG ABOLMAESUMI
Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of British Columbia
Dr. Abolmaesumi is internationally recognized and has received numerous awards for his pioneering developments in medical image analysis and image-guided interventions. He carries out research in medical imaging, machine learning, and image-guided diagnosis and interventions. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are applied to diagnosis in ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, digitized pathology slides and other tissue images.
Dr. Terry Peters
Scientist, Robarts Research Institute & Professor, Medical Imaging, Medical Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering, Western University
Dr. Peters' laboratory tackles problems related to Image-guided interventions. His lab is identifying brain pathologies through multi-spectral imaging and histology correlations and developing minimally-invasive heart surgery using ultrasound and augmented reality to repair structures in the beating heart! Other research aims to assist the safe delivery of anesthetic agents to critical regions such as the spine using Ultrasound and augmented reality, and the application of novel image processing approaches for prostate resection using the daVinci robot. All of these projects are supported by shared platforms of image segmentation, image registration, 3D-visualization, and instrument tracking.
Dr. Robin Shandas
Distinguished Professor and Founding Chair, Department of Bioengineering; Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology) and (by courtesy) Surgery, University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus; Director, Center for Bioengineering
Dr. Shandas has a long history of translating engineering ideas into successful clinical products and techniques. He pioneered the Echo PIV technique, an opaque flow velocimetry technique for measuring details of cardiovascular blood flow through high frame rate ultrasound imaging coupled with contrast backscatter. In pediatric cardiology, he helped develop the idea that the large pulmonary arteries play a key role in maintaining right-ventricular pumping action (the RV-PA dual-ventricle) during pulmonary hypertension. In pediatric cardiac surgery, he co-developed novel methods to assist the failing Fontan. Over the last 10 years, he co-founded 8 companies in a variety of medtech areas including new shape memory polymers for cardiovascular and ophthalmic applications (EndoShape, ShapeTech, Shape Ophthalmics), Echo PIV for hemodynamic vascular profiling (Illumasonix), new surgical bed for hip arthroscopy (MITA), and new techniques to quantify esophageal inflammation (EnteroTrack). Many of these companies have products in the clinic; one (MITA) was recently acquired by Stryker. Dr. Shandas founded the first bioengineering department in Colorado and established the BS, MS, and PhD degrees in bioengineering.
