Safety of Interactive Image-Guided Surgery

In this chapter, we discuss Interactive Image-Guided Surgery (IIGS) and present the current state of the art in the analysis and evaluation of this kind of computer-supported medical procedure. We also present the results of our research to evaluate the safety of IIGS. During our discussion of the current state of the art, we review the various approaches that have been proposed to analyze and evaluate IIGS systems including their strengths and weaknesses.
