Cinematic Rendering for Surgery
Cinematic Rendering for Surgery
Jun 01, 2017
Of importance to the surgeons was the realistic photo-quality presentation using Cinematic Rendering1, which shows bones as white and tissue as red, for example. Some of the main elements of the prototype are the surgery-specific tools, such as the sliding, selective sectional plane, which makes it possible to remove tissue virtually, showing the vessels in front of the sectional plane in order to more easily determine their position relative to the tumor (image on the right). Organs can also be shown transparently, to enable the shape and position of a liver tumor, for example, to be shown clearly along with the vessels supplying it, while the liver itself appears essentially transparent (center image).
