Medical Image Overlay Navigation System with a Tablet PC

New simple image overlay system using a tablet PC for pinpoint identification of the appropriate site for anastomosis in peripheral arterial reconstruction

“…We recently devised a new medical navigation system that superimposes threedimensional (3D) models onto real-time images taken by the back-camera of a tablet personal computer (PC) [24]. This allows us to pinpoint the planned anastomotic site during surgical revascularization by overlaying preoperatively obtained 3D CT images on the body surface.…”
