Abstract

After introduction to medical imaging, virtual reality (VR), and VR surgical simulation, the paper overviews our long-term efforts in human body modeling and development of VR-based applications for brain intervention. It describes construction, features, and applications of anatomical, functional, and vascular brain atlases. It also presents VR-based applications developed for stereotactic and functional neurosurgery (NeuroPlanner, NeuroBase, and BrainBench), interventional neuroradiology (NeuroCath and tele-NeuroCath), and tumor stereotaxis (VIVIAN). Finally, a vision of the future surgery (the DOTELL environment) is presented.
