19.2.5 data Visualization and feedback method
Once all images and segmented structures are available, along with the spatial rela-
tionships between anatomy and devices, this information needs to be displayed to
the clinician. Most often this is done visually, either using orthogonal multiplanar
display of the 3D images, surface renderings of segmented structures, volume ren-
dering of the anatomy, or nonphotorealistic rendering of the objects, or less common
options, including tactile feedback or auditory feedback. The choice of feedback or
rendering method should not be based on subjective criteria, such as whether the
operator prefers a specic visualization, but rather on the oper ...
