Abstract
It is important to make patient-specific data quickly available and usable to many specialists at different geographical sites. A tele-immersive radiological system has been developed for remote consultation, surgical preplanning, postoperative evaluation, and education. Tele-immersive devices include personal augmented reality immersive system, configurable wall, physician’s personal virtual reality display, ImmersaDesk, volume rendering, cluster-based visualization of large-scale volumetric data, tele-immersive collaboration, and system implementation.
