Corbillon}, ``La chirurgie assistee par ordinateur'', Technical report, Agence Nationale d'Accreditation et d'evaluation en Sante, 159 rue Nationale, 75640 Paris (2002]). CAS is an interdisciplinary research area; it uses many sources of information, devices, computer techniques and clinics. In the past, medical imagery was only used for diagnosis and pathology localization. Today, image processing and computer-assisted surgery systems help surgeons to improve their perception and action capabilities. ``Medical image processing makes possible the acquisition of a numerical model of reality. In surgery, this corresponds to a replica of the patient's anatomy''[Corbillon (loc. cit.)].}, identifier = {05715525}, }
