Recently, research on medical virtual reality and real-time imaging techniques for routine clinical procedures has been expanding. This paper will provide an introduction to the application of high dimensional medical imaging techniques for the realization of tele-surgery. The techniques we have been working on include a medical image analysis, a surgical navigation system, a robotic surgery system, a tele-virtual surgery simulation system as well as various applications. In addition, we will introduce the functions of the high-tech navigation operating room that has been constructed at The Jikei University 3rd Hospital in July 2003 in order to conduct the high-tech navigation surgery.
