Abstract

Traditionally, surgical technique has not included imaging modalities. Image guidance had largely been left to radiology specialties. However, in recent years, tremendous advances in imaging have taken place with improvements in image quality, portability, and accessibility. With these advances, surgeons have begun to realize the benefits of fusing image guidance with traditional surgical approaches. Subsequently, many novel surgical approaches utilizing image guidance have been developed that allow for precise, safe, and minimally invasive management of conditions that previously required open surgical intervention.
