Summary: Today’s imaging modalities like Multirow Detector Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Tomography offer advanced geometrical and temporal resolution. Thus the generated data are already within the same range as the human genome. Therefore traditional reporting techniques like film or monitor reading are not longer appropriate. Moreover, the high computational power of recent workstations allows the implementation of more complex algorithms in order to assist the reporting radiologist, especially supporting quantitative tasks.
The aim of the lecture is to demonstrate selected applications of biomedical imaging and visualization regarding quantitative assessment of airway stenosis, computer aided diagnosis and virtual imaging with special emphasis on virtual endoscopic techniques as well as virtual operation planing.
