CARE 2014 - 1st International Workshop on Computer-Assisted and Robotic Endoscopy - CARE 2014

Medical endoscopy, e.g., bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy, neuroendoscopy, cardiac endoscopy, and cystoscopy, is a widely performed procedure that involves either diagnosis of suspicious lesions or guidance for minimally-invasive surgery in a variety of organs within the body. Conventional endoscopy is on the way to its next generation of computer-assisted and robotic endoscopy (CARE). It nevertheless remains challenging to develop the context-aware computer-assisted and robotic endoscopy systems.
