Surgical Navigation
Stanford Surgical Navigation Program
During the past several years, advances in computer hardware and
software have provided surgeons with advanced navigational tools
for pre-operative diagnosis minimally invasive surgery. Discoveries
in computing and navigation science promise further rapid advancement.
Researchers in the Image
Guidance Laboratories (IGL) pursue basic and applied clinical
research in surgical navigation utilizing and refining applications
of CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopes, endoscopes, surgical microscopes,
and stereotactic technologies. Although primarily focused on neurosurgical
applications, IGL techniques are applicable to other surgical areas
such as orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, otolaryngology,
and craniofacial and plastic surgery.
Current research projects include the following:
- Fast Volumetric Rendering
- 3D Surgical Imaging & Navigation
- Optics Distortion Compensation
- Vision Based Tracking
- Intraoperative Registration
- Interactive Segmentation
- Graphical User Interfaces
- Low Latency Networking
IGL is a multidisciplinary program and collaborates with the following
Stanford Departments, initiatives, and programs:
