Programme Highlights:
This seminar explores the transformative applications of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR) in modern medicine. The talk will cover cutting-edge topics including AI-enhanced Meridian Acupoint Diagnostics using 3D Augmented Reality models, high-precision robotic surgery supported by advanced medical imaging and 3D planning, and reformed medical training through realistic ultrasound-visible 3D-printed anatomical phantoms. Participants will discover how these innovations are improving surgical accuracy, patient safety, and healthcare education in Hong Kong public hospitals.

本研討會將探討人工智能與機器人技術（AIR）在現代醫學中的變革性應用。講者將介紹前沿課題，包括使用3D擴增實境模型的AI輔助經絡穴位診斷、先進醫學影像及3D規劃支援的高精度機器人手術，以及透過超聲可見3D打印解剖模型實現的醫學培訓改革。與會者將了解這些創新如何提升香港公立醫院的手術準確度、病人安全及醫療教育水平。

Speaker
Ir Dr Carrison K.S. Tong, Medical Physicist & PACS Manager, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital and Tseung Kwan O Hospital, Hospital Authority

Ir Dr Tong has been serving as a Medical Physicist since 1996 and specializes in medical imaging, 3D modelling, and innovative healthcare technologies. He led the development of Hong Kong’s first filmless hospital (Tseung Kwan O Hospital, 1999–2003) and established the Surgical Virtual Reality Laboratory in 2007. His pioneering work in 3D printing for clinical applications—including ultrasound-visible anatomical models with tactile realism, AR acupuncture training models, and 3D-assisted procedures for brain aneurysm, cranioplasty, robotic partial nephrectomy and thoracentesis—has won multiple international and local awards, including the 2024 Global Innovation and Tech Excellence Award (Innovative E-Health Solutions, Public Sector) and the 2023 HKIE Grand Award (Industrial Category). Dr Tong holds a PhD in Medical Imaging from Imperial College London and is a Fellow of the British Computer Society. He is also a Chartered Engineer who has published over 40 papers and a book on the Governance of Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS).
