Abstract :
Nowadays medical imaging can be used to generate highly accurate 3D images of the interior of patients´ bodies. 3D medical data must be presented in a compact way in order not to overwhelm or distract doctors who often work under strict time constraints. Augmented reality (AR) lets doctors to optimize actual procedures. Surgical decisions usually depend on the extent of the disease. The accurate volume measurement is complicated in most cases. For instance, surgeons can use AR technology to analyze the disease and determine its extent in three dimensional space so diagnosis can be faster and more precise
