SURGETICA at Grenoble: from computer assisted medical interventions to quality inspired surgery.
Research on "Computer Assisted Medical Interventions" (CAMI) was initiated in Grenoble in 1984, as an attempt to take up the challenge of "Minimally Invasive Interventions", thanks to the introduction of Information and Communication Techniques in the Operating Room. In a first section, we will describe our initial vision. The corresponding achievements will then be presented. A final section will show that the challenge now is to "invert this movement": instead of moving the computer in the Operating Room, we should embed the surgeon (or at least his or her expertise) into the Information Technology based tools he or she uses.
