Abstract

Virtual endoscopy is considered as an ideal aid assessing the complex anatomy of patients and has already been evaluated in several clinical studies. However, due to the increasing quality of modern CT- and MRT-images, present virtual-endoscopy software relies on powerful hardware. In this contribution virtual endoscopy on a portable navigation system for ENT surgery is proposed. The portable navigation system features a tablet pc to ensure a device that does not need much space in the operating room.
