A complete system for visualizing fusion between pre-operative CT and intra-operative ultrasound images in augmented reality

This paper presents a new workflow for the improved visualization of liver lesions that are very small in size. This is because, these lesions are neither properly visible on CT scans nor on US images. Thus, the clinicians while performing the procedure face a lot of challenges due to weak mental re...

Description
Summary:This paper presents a new workflow for the improved visualization of liver lesions that are very small in size. This is because, these lesions are neither properly visible on CT scans nor on US images. Thus, the clinicians while performing the procedure face a lot of challenges due to weak mental registration, which is not optimal. The challenges lead to undesirable consequences that are neither useful for the patient nor for the clinician.
