2、uite for Endoscopic MISS Problems: Multiple Data Sources,Courtesy of Dr. John Chiu,Model Guided Therapy and the Patient Specific Model,Model Guided Therapy (MGT) is a methodology complementing Image Guided Therapy (IGT) with additional vital patient-specific data. It brings patient treatment closer
3、to achieving a more precise diagnosis, a more accurate assessment of prognosis, as well as a more individualized planning, execution and validation of a specific therapy. By definition, Model Guided Therapy is based on a Patient Specific Model (PSM) and allows for a patient specific intervention via
4、 an adapted therapeutic workflow.,Model Guided Therapy and data structures,Model Guided Therapy based on patient specific modelling requires appropriate IT architectures and data structures for its realisation.

MGT provides the scientific basis for
9、 an accurate, transparent and reproducible intervention with the potential for validation and other services. TIMMS is an IT meta architecture allowing for interoperability of the agents to facilitate a MGT intervention.,Model Guided Therapy,The basic TIMMS patient model must have the following feat
10、ures: The TIMMS patient model must have components which represent the patient as an n-dimensional and multiscale (in space and time) data set. The TIMMS patient model must facilitate interfacing to the surgeon and other operative personnel, the TIMMS engines, TIMMS repositories, and the IT infrastr
11、ucture. The TIMMS patient model must be capable of linking these components, which may be static or dynamic, in a meaningful and accurate way. For dynamic components, the TIMMS patient model must be able to process morphological and physiological data and perform the necessary mathematical functions
12、 to maintain the model in an up-to-date state.,Model Guided Therapy,The TIMMS patient model must be capable of being incorporated by the TIMMS executing workflow and responding to its changes. The TIMMS patient model must be amenable to be developed using readily available, standardized informatics
13、methodology. Tools may include UML, XML, Visio, block diagrams, workflow diagrams, MATLAB, Simulink, DICOM (including surgical DICOM), Physiome, CDISC SDTM, openEHR and similar products and tools. The TIMMS patient model must comply to software engineering criteria, for example, to open standards an
14、d service-oriented architectures to allow for multi-disciplinary information exchange. The TIMMS patient model must allow for further extensions to incorporate advances in molecular medical imaging, genomics, proteomics and epigenetics. The TIMMS patient model must be amenable to be used for clinica

With this view, it is an extension from Image (pixel) Guided Therapy (IGT) to model (voxel) guided therapy. Examples of model guided ther

24、on,Strategies for multiscale modelling,Modelling is essential for understanding the knowledge of human characteristics such as, anatomy, physiology, metabolism, genomics, proteomics, pharmacokinetics, etc. Because of the complexity of integrating the knowledge about the different characteristics the
25、 model of a human has to be realised on different levels (multiscale in space and time) and with different ontologies, depending on the questions posed and answered delivered. The problems associated with using reduced-form components within large systems models stem primarily from their limited ran
