Augmented reality (AR) is transforming how we work, learn, play and connect with the world, and is now being introduced to the field of medicine, where it is revolutionising healthcare as pioneering virtual elements are being added to real images to provide a more compelling and intuitive view during procedures. This book, which had its beginnings at the AE-CAI: Augmented Environments for Computer-Assisted Interventions MICCAI Workshop in Munich in 2015, is the first to review the area of mixed and augmented reality in medicine. Covering a range of examples of the use of AR in medicine, it explores its relevance to minimally-invasive interventions, how it can improve the accuracy of a procedure and reduce procedure time, and how it may be employed to reduce radiation risks. It also discusses how AR can be an effective tool in the education of physicians, medical students, nurses and other health professionals.Features:An ideal practical guide for medical professionals and students looking to understand the implementation, applications, and future of AR Contains the latest developments and technologies in this innovative fieldEdited by highly respected pioneers in the field, who have been immersed in AR as well as virtual reality and image-guided surgery since their inception, with chapter contributions from subject area specialists working with AR

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Augmented Environments for Computer-Assisted Interventions, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014, in Boston, MA, USA in September 2014. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The scope of the workshop spans the theoretical and practical aspects of augmented reality and visualization computer assisted intervention, interventional imaging, image-guided robotics, image-guided intervention, surgical planning and simulation, systematic extra- and intra-corporeal imaging modalities, general biological and neuroscience image computing, patient specific modeling, and medical image understanding.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Augmented Environments for Computer-Assisted Interventions, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2015, in Munich, Germany in October 2015. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The objective of the AE-CAI workshop was to attract scientific contributions that offer solutions to the technical problems in the area of augmented and virtual environments for computer-assisted interventions, and to provide a venue for dissemination of papers describing both complete systems and clinical applications.
