Augmented environments for minimally invasive therapy: implementation barriers from technology to practice.

摘要: Augmented environments for medical applications have been explored and developed in an effort to enhance the clinician's view of anatomy facilitate performance minimally invasive procedures. These must faithfully represent real surgical field require seamless integration pre- intra-operative imaging, instrument tracking display technology into a common framework centered around patient. However, few image guidance successfully translated clinical use. Several challenges that contribute slow progress integrating such practice are discussed here terms both technical limitations.
