Abstract

The actual trend in surgery is the transition from open procedures to minimally invasive interventions and revolutionary changes in computer-aided surgery have been obtained thanks to the introduction of the augmented reality technology that can support the doctor during the surgery. A realistic three-dimensional visualization of the patient’s organs can be obtained by means of specific algorithms of segmentation and classification of medical images and advanced modalities of touchless interaction and innovative gesture-control devices permit surgeon to have a natural and simple way of fruition of the patient’s data preserving the surgical environment from the danger of contamination.
