Abstract :
Medical images are multidimensional and the dimensions change as you move from preoperative to intraoperative images. Therapeutic processes are also multidimensional requiring monitoring in space and time. We have developed a software package named ORION which allows the integration of multidimensional data with multidimensional processes.
