Abstract :
The system allows surgeons to plan a surgical approach on a set of 2D image slices and visualise them in 3D rapidly. We use neurosurgery as an example. The surgeon could visualize objects of interest like a tumor and surgical path, and verify that the surgical plan avoids the critical features and is optimal
