[Preface: intuitive visualization of medical information].

摘要: Information technology(IT), visualization, and manipulation will be the key words for next generation surgery. In other words, it is awaited to make good use of intuitive visualization medical information management by extensive IT in which science engineering are merged incorporated process or treatment course using three-dimensional intraoperative images simulation data base. order put into practice, inevitable establish a strategy system that certainly enables surgeons provide constantly high quality medicine. This means achieve goal while optimizing toward goal(a road map) monitoring real-timely pre- surgical planning operating condition devices under control system.
