Improving Surgical Visualization Of Liver Cancer - 3D Imagery

A new breakthrough in biomedical imaging allows surgeons to view the human liver in a 3D, full color hologram, helping the way they plan liver operations to remove tumors. The 3D hologram will allow oncologists and surgeons to "look around" the "virtual" organ. Until now, surgeons relied on 2D screens in order to view 3D information from MRI, CT and ultrasound scanning methods. Based on real patient data, the surgeons can use the 3D models for training and simulation, allowing them to visualize the complexity of navigation within the organ...
