A new approach for photorealistic visualization of rendered CT images, by Glemser et al. World Neurosurgery (2018)

Highlights

  • A new photorealistic CT rendering system for neurosurgical use is presented (CVRT).
  • Photorealism is created by complex light interactions and classical camera effects.
  • CVRT can extract more valuable 3D image impressions than SSD and VRT.
  • Application in presurgical planning, teaching and patient interaction.
