Abstract

We describe scripting facilities to create medical animations for intervention planning based on medical volume data and derived segmentation information. A data independent scripting language has been developed to separate animation scripts from imaging data. The scripting facilities are adaptive and allow to reuse one script to create animations for many different patients. With expressive animations, we support the individual planning process, the preoperative documentation as well as discussions between medical doctors, for example in a tumor board. We also discuss the enhancement of interactive explorations with animations generated on the fly.
