At the 2007 Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting in Berlin, Anton Koning, Ph.D., from Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam discussed how 3D visualizes complex pathology of the heart and how image display can be improved with different kinds of VR (virtual reality) systems.
