Abstract
In this paper we introduce the extendible and cross-platform software framework Julius. Julius combines both pre-operative planning and intraoperative assistance within one single environment. In this paper we discuss three aspects of Julius: the medical data processing, the visualization pipeline and the interaction. Each aspect provides interfaces that allow to extend the application with own algorithms and to build complex applications. We believe that this approach facilitates the development of image guided navigation and simulation procedures for computer-aided-surgery.
