Reliability is also of paramount importance. We are using the entire spectrum of Sun technology to extend the range of computer vision. Dr. Ron Kikinis Director of the Surgical Planning Laboratory, Department of Radiology Sun products have been the standard for all demanding purposes in the laboratory since the procedure's initiation a decade ago. The laboratory works closely with Sun, benefiting from this single- vendor relationship in many ways. We have to process up to 300,000 triangles in real time and produce top-quality graphical images.
Reliability is also of paramount importance.
We are using the entire spectrum of Sun technology to extend the range of computer vision. Sun is also the basis for the laboratory's extensive quantitative analysis work and many other research projects. The high-performance 3D programming capabilities of the Java 3D API are allowing other medical research professionals globally to share in the new discoveries, techniques, and insight. On the short term - many patients can now walk away from the hospital within days of brain surgery and resume their normal lives. Our goal is to completely remove tumors without damaging surrounding tissue, and we are better prepared to achieve that goal as a result of our techniques coupled with technology that helps make those techniques possible.
