Abstract
Three-dimensional display of medical image data has under gone rapid development since its introduction. This article explores the current state-of-the-art of 3-dimensional imaging applied to surgery planning and discusses the various image acquisition sources: computed tomography (CT), cine CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Since increased physician involvement is the goal of the surgery planning software described, the future directions discussed emphasize the inclusion of “expert“ knowledge and ways to facilitate realistic interaction for surgery simulation.
Résumé
Depuis son introduction, l'imagerie en trois dimensions (3D) s'est rapidement développée. Dans cet article, on donne l'etat actuel de nos connaissances dans l'imagerie en trois dimensions (3D) appliquée à la tactique opératoire et on discute les différentes sources d'imagerie: tomodensitométrie, cinétomodensitométrie, résonnance nucléaire magnétique, et échographie. Le but des logiciels décrits ici n'est pas de diminuer mais d'augmenter la participation du chirurgien. A l'avenir, des systèmes experts et la simulation devraient jouer un rôle plus important.
Resumen
La presentación tridimensional de las imágenes médicas ha logrado un rápido desarrollo a partir del momento mismo de su introducción. Este artículo explora el actual “estado del arte“ de las imágenes tridimensionales en cuanto a su aplicación a la planificación quirÚrgica y discute los diversos métodos de producir imágenes: la tomografía computadorizada, la cinetomografía computadorizada, la resonancia magnética, y la ultrasonografía. Puesto que el objetivo del “software“ para planificación quirÚrgica que aquí se describe es involucrar en forma creciente al médico, las directrices futuras que se contemplan hacen énfasis en la inclusión del conocimiento “experto“ y de maneras de facilitar interacciones para la simulación quirÚrgica.
