Abstract :
Clinical planning support system (CliPSS), which is software developed to support neurosurgical planning and to enable a surgeon to generate 3-D computed images interactively and simulate sterotactic surgery on them, is discussed. The basic functions of CliPSS, involving section display, editing, extraction, and rendering, are reviewed. A method of thinning the volume of polygonal data for a surface-rendered image, which improves CliPPS´s performance and interactivity, is presented.<>
