UTILITY OF 3D-CT OPERATION SIMULATION IN FRONTAL SINUS SURGERY BY AQUARIUS NET

Abstract

The understanding of the anatomy is the most important element in the endoscopic sinus surgery. Inspection before ESS by especially three directions CT is a key to the operation success. However, it is a very difficult thing that CT in three directions is restructured and understands the 3D conformation.
As for Aquarius NET (TeraRecon Co.), it is possible to process real time 3D image with all the electronic medical record client terminals in Intranet.
We can refer in real time to three directions CT, and do the surgical simulation handily by using Aquarius NET by the thing that 3D restructuring and the arbitrary section slice make. This thing contributes to the patient explanation, the education, and clinical.
