Résumé: In recent years, three important new developments have dominated the world of medical imaging: ‘‘better diagnosis alone ’’is not desired by end users if there is no impact on the therapy procedure; interventional procedures are gaining importance as compared to pure diagnostics; and a general shift from 2Dslices to 3Dmodels of organs has been observed. These trends in .uence all existing imaging modalities. In this article, we review some aspects of this tendency on applications from CT, MRI/ MRA, angiography, 3Dultrasound, cancer treatment, simulation and training, and VR/ AR in navigation. We expect that intraoperative imaging and surgical applications, including operation planning, pre- operative simulation and intraoperative navigation, will shape the future of medical imaging and introduce new applications in the field.
