VOXEL-MAN

The use of interactive 3D atlases on medical workstations is primarily focused on education and surgery. As an example, K.-H. HOhne s pioneering Voxel-Man series of atlases (H6hne 2004) was initiated by the visible human project " (Fig. 9.6). Atlases for brain surgery (e.g. the Cerefy Brain atlas family Nowinski et al. 2005) now become probabilistic, based on a large number of patient studies. 

In the world of CAS some very advanced simulation and training systems (KISMET, Voxel-Man) have been created (Voxel Man surgical workstations 2007). Especially in dental implants, craniofacial surgery and laparoscopic surgery there are many and highly advanced systems today (Fig. 9.11). Surgical...
