Application of Advanced Virtual Reality and 3D Computer Assisted Technologies in 3D CAS and Tele-3D-Computer Assisted Surgery

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, Tele-3D-CAS, and VR applications. 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. Use of the latest program systems enables development of 3D spatial models, exploration in various projections, simultaneous presentation of multiple model sections and, most important, model development according to open computer standards (Open Inventor). VR, 3D-CAS and Tele-3D-CAS systems can be used for education, assessment of work skills, training, simulation, 3-D visualization, computer-aided design, teleoperation, and telemanipulation. VR systems may be used to aid delivery of surgical procedures. In 1992, a scientific research rhinosurgical team was organized at the University Department of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery, Zagreb University School of Medicine and Zagreb University Hospital Center in Zagreb, who have developed the idea of a novel approach in head surgery. This computer aided functional endoscopic sinus microsurgery has been named 3D-C-FESS. The first 3D-C-FESS operation in Croatia was carried out at the Šalata University Department of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery in May 1994.
