Image-Guided Tumor Resection Simulation

Training Overview

Image-Guided Tumor Resection Simulation is an advanced, hands-on program designed for surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and trainees seeking to refine their skills in real-time, image-supported oncologic surgery. This two-day course integrates high-fidelity simulation, intraoperative imaging workflows, and multidisciplinary planning to enhance precision, safety, and decision-making during tumor resections.

The program covers foundational concepts in tumor localization, surgical anatomy, imaging modalities (US, CT, MRI, fluorescence, navigation systems), margin assessment, and operative strategy selection. Participants learn best practices for integrating imaging before, during, and after surgery, focusing on high-risk and anatomically complex tumors.

Simulation-based sessions allow participants to perform full resection workflows using 3D models, intraoperative ultrasound, navigation-guided systems, and fluorescence-marked tumor mapping. Under expert guidance, attendees practice margin identification, navigation alignment, real-time decision-making, complication avoidance, and postoperative evaluation.

Multidisciplinary case discussions reinforce clinical reasoning across oncology, radiology, and surgery. Through scenario-based exercises, participants improve skills in preoperative planning, operative pathway optimization, communication, and team coordination during imaging-guided oncologic procedures.

By the end of the course, participants gain the technical confidence, imaging proficiency, and collaborative competencies required to perform safer, more accurate, and more effective image-guided tumor resections.
