Multimodal Volume-based Tumor Neurosurgery Planning in the Virtual Workbench
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a multimodal volume-based pre-operative surgical planning system developed around the KRDL Virtual Workbench, a mirror-based Virtual Reality system for precise work with 3D data. The planning system is being developed in collaboration with the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), and is undergoing clinical evaluation at SGH and Tan Tock Seng Hospital where 16 cases have been planned. We give a systems perspective on the user interface, introduce the multimodal aspects of the volume rendering technique, and describe the stages involved in creating the final multimodal image for planning with a clinical case: registration, segmentation of tumors, bone removal, path planning and measurements.

Exploring Multimodal 3D Interfaces
The Virtual Reality Lab at the Naval Research Laboratory has created a real-time, situational awareness virtual environment for battlefield visualization, termed the Dragon System [1]. The system is implemented on a workbench [2] and a CAVE-like immersive room [3]. It utilizes a virtual laser pointer metaphor for navigating and interacting with the terrain and objects; we implemented this metap...

A voxel-based terrain visualization system is presented with real-time performance on general-purpose graphics multiprocessor workstations. Ray casting of antialiased 3D volume terrain and subvoxel sampling in true 3D space produce high quality images. Based on this rendering algorithm, an interactive flythrough system for mission planning and flight simulation has been developed on an SGI Powe...

Introduction: The primary and definitive diagnosis of meningioma is based on histological assessment; however, employing imaging methods, like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is very helpful to describe lesion’s characteristics. Accordingly, we decided to study the effect of imaging factors, like MRI data on the volume of hemorrhage (estimated blood loss) during meningioma surgery. Methods: T...
