===== Research =====

For many years, my research has focused on all aspects of computer-integrated interventional medicine. Broadly, this research has included:
  * Medical robotics;
  * Medical imaging & modeling;and
  * Complete systems for surgical assistance, image-guided surgery, and what I refer to as "Surgical CAD/CAM".

An [[:rht.research|underlying theme]] ([[http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~rht/Research.html#VISION|previous link]]) has been the basic insight that information-based technologies can have just as profound an impact on computer-integrated medicine as it has had on computer-integrated manufacturing.

Some of [[rht.research#some_current_and_recent_projects|my current and recent research projects]] ([[http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~rht/Research.html#PROJECTS|previous link]]) include work on systems, medical robotics for microsurgery and MIS, statistical modeling and deformable 2D-3D registration, radiation oncology planning, and human-machine cooperative systems in surgery.

===== Publications =====

You can find a (somewhat complete) [[:rht.cv#publications|list of my publications]] ([[http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~rht/RHT%20Papers/rht-cv.html#publications|previous link]]) in my [[:rht.cv|curriculum vitae]] ([[http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~rht/RHT%20Papers/rht-cv.html|previous link]]), which also contains links to .pdf files of many of my papers.
