OSN WORKSHOP

Discovery to Clinical Acceptance: 3-Part Workshop

Tuesday, September 10th, 2024
10:00AM–11:30AM   |   11:45AM–1:15PM   |   2:15PM–3:45PM

Description

The Optical Surgical Navigation workshop will highlight experts from various institutions to discuss ongoing clinical trials and developments in the field of intraoperative molecular imaging. This workshop will focus on clinical trial design considerations and advancing regulatory guidance.  

By the conclusion of the workshop sessions, participants will be updated on the progress of new research and the progress of clinical trials and will gain a deeper understanding of regulatory requirements, clinical trial design principles, and the critical role of FDA support in facilitating the development and commercialization of surgical navigation technologies. Armed with newfound insights and guidance, participants will be better equipped to navigate regulatory pathways and design robust clinical trials.

OSN MEMBERSHIP

The Optical Surgical Navigation (OSN) Interest Group of The World Molecular Imaging Society is focused on advancing and supporting optical molecular imaging education, innovation, standardization, and translation to clinical use. They envision molecular optical imaging techniques being used during the majority of surgeries to visualize tissues, cells, and biochemical events in real time through improved instrumentation, markers, and expanding indications.
