Abstract

Digital radiology and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) with filmless reporting at electronic workstations are a great challenge for radiology. There are the possibilities of improving the quality of diagnosis, of working more efficiently and of achieving economic savings, but on the other hand the position of radiology within the hospital may be put at risk. The technical means for the implementation of PACS are largely available. Wide acceptance in the market depends inter alia on the availability of open systems with standardized interfaces.

User-friendly and low-cost computer system for immediate review, analysis, and reconstruction of intracoronary ultrasound images.

Rapid review, digital recording, on-line quantification, and three-dimensional reconstruction are all essential in the evaluation of intracoronary ultrasound images during coronary interventions. We describe a low-cost method that offers all these necessary features. The proposed method uses the QuickTime compatible video digitizers of standard multimedia Apple Macintosh or PowerPC desktop computers and the freeware software Object Image 1.60.

[Intraoperative precision of mechanical, electromagnetic, infrared and laser-guided navigation systems in computer-assisted surgery].

Intraoperative precision in computer-assisted surgery depends on the characteristics of a navigation system, the precision of correlation between object and data set, the position, number and fixation of landmarks, and the parameters of the data set. The characteristics of a navigation system, in particular the immanent precision, can be detected by the use of the geometric model and navigation analyzer developed at the University of Regensburg with the support of Carl Zeiss, Germany. The precision of five navigation systems of different types and technology was measured: Viewing Wand (ISG, mechanical system), the SMN microscope (Carl Zeiss, infrared system with laser autofocus), the MKM system (Carl Zeiss, robot platform with laser autofocus) and the STP pointer (Leibinger, infrared system). The immanent precision of these systems ranges from 0.1 to 2.0 mm. An electromagnetic system (3-Space Digitizer, Polhemus) was compared; this produces serious spherical deviations of 10.0 to 20.0 mm in the presence of metal, surgical and rotating instruments, and circuits. The application of these different systems for craniomaxillofacial surgery is discussed.
