However, the rhinologist is left to make the conceptual jump between static cross-sectional images and the anatomy encountered intraoperatively. A three-dimensional (3D) visuo-haptic representation of the patient's anatomy may allow for enhanced preoperative planning and rehearsal, with the goal of improving outcomes, decreasing complications, and enhancing technical skills.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed a novel method of automatically constructing 3D visuo-haptic models of patients\u2019 anatomy from preoperative CT scans for placement in a virtual surgical environment (VSE). State-of-the-art techniques were used to create a high-fidelity representation of salient bone and soft tissue anatomy and to enable manipulation of the virtual patient in a surgically meaningful manner. A modified haptic interface device drives a virtual endoscope that mimics the surgical configuration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The creation and manipulation of sinus anatomy from CT data appeared to provide a relevant means of exploring patient-specific anatomy. Unlike more traditional methods of interacting with multiplanar imaging data, our VSE provides the potential for a more intuitive experience that can replicate the views and access expected at surgery. The inclusion of tactile (haptic) feedback provides an additional dimension of realism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The incorporation of patient-specific clinical CT data into a virtual surgical environment holds the potential to offer the surgeon a novel means to prepare for rhinologic procedures and offer training to residents. An automated pathway for segmentation, reconstruction, and an intuitive interface for manipulation may enable rehearsal of planned procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2009.23.3335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,10]],"date-time":"2010-02-10T20:34:00Z","timestamp":1265834040000},"page":"442-447","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Integration of Patient-Specific Paranasal Sinus Computed Tomographic Data into a Virtual Surgical Environment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Sachin S.","family":"Parikh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sonny","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit K.","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter H.","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Curt M.","family":"Salisbury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin Y.","family":"Rafii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaurav","family":"Varma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth J.","family":"Salisbury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolas H.","family":"Blevins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2007.21.2962"},{"key":"bibr2-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2008.22.3153"},{"key":"bibr3-ajra.2009.23.3335","first-page":"315","author":"Scharsach H.","year":"2006","journal-title":"EuroVis\/IEEE-VGTC Symposium on Visualization"},{"key":"bibr4-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/VISUAL.2003.1250384"},{"key":"bibr5-ajra.2009.23.3335","first-page":"104","volume-title":"Proceedings of IEEE Visualization.","author":"Lundin K.","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr6-ajra.2009.23.3335","volume-title":"Proceedings of Eurohaptics.","author":"Salisbury JK J.","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr7-ajra.2009.23.3335","first-page":"61","volume":"61","author":"Haluck R.S.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Arch Surg"},{"key":"bibr8-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.131.3.217"},{"key":"bibr9-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MCG.2006.140"},{"key":"bibr10-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MOO.0b013e32814b0802"},{"key":"bibr11-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.133.4.350"},{"key":"bibr12-ajra.2009.23.3335","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199811000-00010"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Rhinology &amp;
