Journal Title：Computer Assisted Surgery

omputer Assisted Surgery aims to improve patient care by advancing the utilization of computers during treatment; to evaluate the benefits and risks associated with the integration of advanced digital technologies into surgical practice; to disseminate clinical and basic research relevant to stereotactic surgery, minimal access surgery, endoscopy, and surgical robotics; to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers and physicians in developing new concepts and applications; to educate clinicians about the principles and techniques of computer assisted surgery and therapeutics; and to serve the international scientific community as a medium for the transfer of new information relating to theory, research, and practice in biomedical imaging and the surgical specialties.

The scope of Computer Assisted Surgery encompasses all fields within surgery, as well as biomedical imaging and instrumentation, and digital technology employed as an adjunct to imaging in diagnosis, therapeutics, and surgery. Topics featured include frameless as well as conventional stereotactic procedures, surgery guided by intraoperative ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, image guided focused irradiation, robotic surgery, and any therapeutic interventions performed with the use of digital imaging technology.

计算机辅助手术旨在通过提高治疗期间计算机的使用来改善患者护理；评估将先进数字技术整合到外科实践中的益处和风险；传播与立体定向手术、微创手术、内窥镜检查和手术机器人相关的临床和基础研究；鼓励工程师和医生在开发新概念和应用方面进行跨学科合作；就计算机辅助手术和治疗的原理和技术对临床医生进行教育；并作为传播与生物医学成像和外科专业的理论、研究和实践相关的新信息的媒介，为国际科学界服务。

计算机辅助手术的范围涵盖手术的所有领域，以及生物医学成像和仪器，以及在诊断、治疗和手术中用作成像辅助的数字技术。主题包括无框架以及传统的立体定向手术、术中超声或磁共振成像引导的手术、图像引导的聚焦照射、机器人手术以及使用数字成像技术进行的任何治疗干预。
