Pat Virtue is a software engineer in GE Healthcare's
Clinical Software
Engineering (CSE) team. He is currently researching medical
image
segmentation and analysis technology for advanced applications in
orthopedics, neurology, and radiation therapy. Pat's research
includes
algorithm development, medical application prototyping, and working with
clinical research partners to validate new technology.
Bio: Pat graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2002
with a B.S.
degree in Computer Science Engineering. He then joined GE Healthcare
in
Waukesha, WI as part of the Edison Engineering Development Program.
Prior to his current CSE research role, Pat had various engineering and
research assignments working on wireless EKG antenna system design, 2D
and 3D computer graphics, and visualization applications for MR, CT,
PET, and surgical navigation.

Dr. Kenneth Jacobsohn: Robotic surgery for prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers
Dr. Kenneth Jacobsohn will address the role of robotic surgery in treating benign and malignant urologic diseases. His presentation will focus on the impact that the technology makes on both the technical aspects of surgery as well as patient outcomes.
Bio: Dr. Kenneth Jacobsohn is currently the director of minimally invasive urologic surgery and an assistant professor of urology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He completed fellowship training in minimally invasive urologic oncology at City of Hope in Duarte, CA. A native of Wisconsin, he obtained his undergraduate degree from UW-Madison and went to medical school at Medical College of Wisconsin. Clinically, his interests are in prostate, kidney and bladder cancers, and robotic surgery.
| The Great Lakes Biomedical Conference will be held at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) in Milwaukee, WI. The theme of this year's conference is Advances in Robotic Surgery,and there will be a range of related discussions, including a postersession and prizes as well as cutting edge talks. |
