Advanced Technology : Research, Application and Integration of 3D Structural Information With Multimedia Contents For Tele-Virtual Dg./Therapy: Possible Use in the NATO Environment

In human medicine, extremely valuable information on anatomic relationships in particular regions while planning and performing modern approaches in the surgery, such as endoscopic surgery, is provided by high quality CT or MRI diagnosis [1](Fig.1), thus contributing greatly to the safety of this kind of surgery [2]. Research in the area of 3-D image analysis, visualization, tissue modelling, and human-machine interfaces provides scientific expertise necessary for developing successful 3D-CAS (computer assisted surgery) [3], Tele-3D-CAS, and VR (virtual reality) [4, 5] applications. Mentioned technologies represent a basis for realistic simulations that are useful in many areas of human activity (including medicine), and can create an impression of immersion of a physician in a non-existing, virtual environment. Such an impression of immersion can be realized in any medical institution using advanced computers and computer networks that are required for interaction between a person and a remote environment, with the goal of realizing tele-presence. To understand the idea of 3D-CAS/VR it is necessary to recognize that the perception of surrounding world created in our brain is based on information coming from the human senses and with the help of a knowledge that is stored in our brain. The usual definition says that the impression of being present in a virtual environment (VE), such as virtual endoscopy (VE) of the patient’ s head, that does not exist in reality is called VR. The user/physician, has impression of presence in the virtual world and can navigate through it and manipulate virtual objects. A 3D-CAS/VR system may be designed in such a way that the user/physician, is completely immersed in the VE.
