Prior to surgery, the patient often undergoes a CT or MRI scan. This is virtually mandatory for laparoscopic surgery. Advanced computer processing of the radiological data provides indispensable information for the proper planning of the forthcoming operation. Realistic 3D visualization of the organs and lesions concerned, including precise metrics, is a vital aid to interventional planning.
2.1 Data reading and visualization
Radiological examinations, such as CT scans and MRIs, provide both DICOM and JPEG images. We have developed a computerized 3D image reading and visualization system that takes both types of coding into account. However, DICOM is the preferred choice, given the definition and density of the images. The software enables the reading of one...
