Three dimensional tools for anatomical and radiological education for medical students are not novel. However, there has been limited ability to apply these tools into clinical practice. We speculate the reason for this situation is that although anatomical education software exists for a myriad of devices, and multiple applications exist for hand held devices, these platforms do not provide for intuitive correlation of clinical information from multiple diagnostic imaging procedures, nor do they provide users with any measure of prognostic capability.In this paper, we demonstrate the development of a virtual scalpel in the 3-D, immersive, navigable and interactive environment provided by a CAVE™. We propose that such an environment allows for the integrated visualization of medical images obtained from multiple radiological imaging platforms including CT, MRI, and PET. We intend to show such a system is advantageous not only for anatomical education but also for clinicians as a useful tool in surgical practice.

“…Cost-effective operation of the complement of test stands benefits from technologies and methodologies that contribute to reductions in labor costs, improvements in efficiency, reductions in turn-around times, improved reliability, and other measures. ISHM is an active area of development at SSC because it offers the potential to achieve many of those operational goals [3][4][5].…”
