Virtual Reality in Medical Imaging for Image-Guided Surgery

With medical imaging equipment one can generate images of the inside of the body. The images can be used for diagnosis, but also for planning and simulation of radio-therapy, surgery and other types of interventions, as well as for guidance and navigation while intervening according to the pre-operative plan. Several registration techniques are available to transfer the pre-operative virtual pl...

Virtual Microscopy in Medical Images: a Survey

A major objective of the present survey is to provide a comprehensive vision of the most recent methods for the construction of a Virtual Microscopy Viewer (VMV). The Virtual Microscopy (VM) is the microscopy area that provides a realistic digital emulation of a conventional light microscope and the VMV is the software tool that provides such emulation. Construction of a mega-image by stitching...

Imaging with Rays: Microscopy, Medical Imaging, and Computer Vision

In this paper we broadly consider techniques which utilize projections on rays for data collection, with particular emphasis on optical techniques. We formulate a variety of imaging techniques as either special cases or extensions of tomographic reconstruction. We then consider how the techniques must be extended to describe objects containing occlusion, as with a self-occluding opaque object. ...
