  • Title: Using semi-automated image processing and desktop systems to incorporate actual patient volumetric data in immersive surgical planning and viewing systems for multiple patients.
    Author: George I, Mastrangelo M, Hoskins J, Witzke W, Stich J, Garrison J, Witzke DB, Nichols M, Park A.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2002; 85():155-9. PubMed ID: 15458078.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes how patient specific volumetric data are managed from image acquisition through final processing for the purposes of creating a 3D VR rendering of user selected and manipulated 3D models. The system described here allows for the development of quick, inexpensive, and clinician manipulated patient-specific models. The utility of this process is demonstrated by being able to move VRML models to desktop or immersive environments for both pre-operative planning and patient-specific surgical and anatomical training.
