Abstract:
Image guided surgery (IGS) requires an integrated environment for seamless acquisition, visualization,manipulation, display, registration and storage of complex data sets. The infrastructure to support IGS integrates image acquisition, networks, presurgical planning, surgical navigation, and archival storage elements. This paper describes the principal components of an integrated IGS environment and an implementation in a large academic medical center. The IGS infrastructure is illustrated for practical applications in neurosurgical case examples.
