New Journal Current Topics in Computer- and Robot-Assisted Surgery (GMS CURAC) online

GMS Current Topics in Computer- and Robot-Assisted Surgery (GMS CURAC) is an annual journal of the German Society of Computer- and Robot-Assisted Surgery (CURAC). The journal is dedicated to publish state-of-the-art articles based on contributions of the annual meeting of the society.

"Navigation, Sensors, Robotics and Simulation - The new dimension in surgery" was the motto of the CURAC annual meeting 2005. The importance and the clinical use of computer-based assistance systems is increasing and reaching new application areas. The first issue of the journal represents a broad spectrum of these systems and clinical applications:

Computer Assisted Surgery is characterized by its essential need for interdisciplinary exchange between different surgical disciplines and between physicians, engineers, computer scientists, physicists, medical technicians and developers. The editors try to support this exchange by urging the authors to write their contributions in a way, that all people of this interdisciplinary community can read and understand them.
