Interactive Medical Volume Visualization for Surgical Operations

Abstract

In this paper, a Surgeon Assistant System" using Enhanced Reality (ER) approach is presented, The main idea is to use Virtual Reality (VR) device(s), and assist the surgeon with one and two-dimensional information of human body and three-dimensional volumetric surface models of anatomic tissues, especially in the brain operations, This opportunity may increase the concentration of the surgeon with the combinational use of real and computer generated information combination, Therefore, increased concentration and well-organized information improve the success rate of the surgery. This study covers hardware and software implementation of a pro to type system recommending requirements of such tools. Keywords - Computer Aided Surgery (CAS), Enhanced Reality.
