Abstract
The impressive development of medical imaging technology during the last
decades provided physicians with an increasing amount of patient specific
anatomical and functional data. In addition, the increasing use of
non-ionizing real-time imaging, in particular ultrasound and optical
imaging, during surgical procedures created the need for design and
development of new visualization and display technology allowing physicians
to take full advantage of rich sources of heterogeneous preoperative and
intraoperative data. During 90's, medical augmented reality was proposed as
a paradigm bringing new visualization and interaction solutions into
perspective. This paper not only reviews the related literature but also
establishes the relationship between subsets of this body of work in medical
augmented reality. It finally discusses the remaining challenges for this
young and active multidisciplinary research community.
