Purpose: In endoscopic ENT surgery, the identification and localization of target structures is challenging-depth information is missing, relevant tissues could be hidden behind opaque material and image distortion affects the instrument handling. In this paper, a novel overlay visualization is presented that supports the surgeon by superimposing planning and navigation information on the endoscopic image.
Method: Target regions, which have been identified in preoperative CT data, are superimposed on the endoscopic image, allowing the use of guiding lines for distance visualization.
