About

Image-guided surgery (IGS) is the term used for surgical procedures in which the surgeon employs tracked surgical instruments with preoperative or intraoperative images in order to navigate during the procedure. It is part of the wider field of computer-assisted surgery. In the field of otolaryngology, IGS is primarily used by rhinologists during sinus surgery and by skull-base surgeons often in conjunction with neurosurgeons. While widely utilized, surgeons' understanding of the technology is often inadequate to appreciate its strengths and weaknesses.

Image-Guided Surgery: Fundamentals and Clinical Applications in Otolaryngology was written to overcome this knowledge gap to educate practicing surgeons as well as provide an introduction to the field for engineers. Coauthored by a practicing otolaryngologist with a doctorate in bioengineering and a computer scientist with a doctorate in physics whose career has focused on error analysis in IGS, the book includes chapters on history, CT and MRI, tracking, registration, error analysis, evidence-based practices, FDA-cleared IGS systems, and future applications, as well as more than 90 full-color figures.

The book also comes with a complimentary access to a PluralPlus companion website with videos and animations.

Authors

Robert F. Labadie

Robert F. Labadie, MD, PhD, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, earned his bachelor of science in mechanical engineering from the University of Notre Dame, his doctor of medicine and a doctorate in bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh, and completed his residency training at UNC-Chapel Hill. He joined the faculty at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2001 and completed a master's of management in health care in 2013. He is currently professor and vice chair/chief research officer in the Department of Otolaryngology with a joint appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His clinical specialty is otology. Dr. Labadie is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, has presented his research nationally and internationally, and has ongoing NIH support to study image-guided otologic surgery including cochlear implantation. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society, and Triological Society.
