title: Computer assisted E.N.T. surgery, a preliminary report.
abstract: The Medivision Image Guided Surgery System was used in the E.N.T. Department of the Antwerp University Hospital in 10 different E.N.T. surgical procedures between October 1997 and February 1998. The authors report and discuss the procedure for computer assisted surgery in E.N.T. interventions, based on this preliminary experience, and conclude that computer assisted surgery has many useful applications in our speciality.
