Abstract
Many clinical situations ask for the simultaneous visualization of anatomical surfaces and synthetic meshes. Common examples include hip replacement surgery, intra-operative visualization of surgical instruments or probes, visualization of planning information, or implant surgery. To be useful for treatment planning and surgery, the combined visualization of anatomical information
with mesh-surfaces should meet some requirements. First, anatomical information should be as accurate as possible to give the clinician a realistic view of the different structures. Second, the clinician should be able to interactively position the synthetic mesh, for example, an implant or surgical instrument, judge the positions with respect to the anatomy, and make adjustments where
necessary. We developed a technique that meets these requirements and displays anatomical surfaces together with synthetic meshes. The usefulness of this technique will be demonstrated by applying it to dental implant surgery. The technique enables clinicians to interactively visualize
the jaw in conjunction with a constructed drilling template. D 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
