Contemporary imaging modalities can now provide the surgeon with high quality three-and
four-dimensional images depicting not only normal anatomy and pathology, but also …

▪ Abstract Medical imaging has been used primarily for diagnosis. In the past 15 years there
has been an emergence of the use of images for the guidance of therapy. This process …

Since the discovery of X-rays, medical imaging has played a major role in the guidance of
surgical procedures. While medical imaging began with simple X-ray plates to indicate the …

The authors address the use of multimodality imaging as an aid to the planning and
guidance of neurosurgical procedures, and discuss the integration of anatomical (CT and …

Radiology reading rooms have changed dramatically over the past 15 years, moving from
analog-light-box-based environments to digital-display-based environments. Most of the …

Stereoscopy can be an effective method for obtaining three-dimensional (3-D) spatial
information from two-dimensional (2-D) projection X-ray images, without the need for …

The authors used a stereoscopic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system to measure
absolute blood flow rates in vessels. The magnification factor and the three-dimensional …

We demonstrate the feasibility and utility of using anatomical/vascular correlation in image-
guided surgery, by interfacing a PC-based stereoscopic Digital Subtraction Angiography …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES.: The authors evaluated the clinical utility and potential
applications of a binocular three-dimensional (3D) image display in diagnostic radiology …

Medical imaging has come a long way since the first X-Ray pictures were taken in 1895 and
X-Ray is still a primary image source for diagnosis and intra-operative guidance in today's …
