Abstract
Advances in imaging science, rapid prototyping and software manipulation of radiological datasets have given surgeons the ability to see structures inside the body with more clarity and precision than ever before. Tracking, registration and 3D technology co-exist in many hospitals but the convergence into a single augmented reality patient focused system has not yet been formally established. From pre-operative planning, surgical simulation to intra-operative delivery, I will outline how 3D technologies such volumetric reconstruction, advanced segmentation and predictive tools for vascular analysis in isolation are useful to surgeons and why as a combined vision assisted solution they will become essential to healthcare practitioners in all specialties
