| Research Abstract |
Since surgeons have quite limited view and are obliged to use special instruments in the laparoscopic surgery, it requires high skills for surgeons. To address this problem, we have proposed a computer-aided surgery system which projects the laparoscopic image directly onto the patient's body surface to assist and enhance the surgeon's view. However, the system could not obtain and project the 3D information changing in real-time. Therefore, in this project, we developed a new imaging device specialized for obtaining plenty information inside the abdominal cavity, and proposed a fusion algorithm between different image modalities. Finally we performed the overall evaluation of the surgery assistance system.
