In surgery, virtual and augmented reality areincreasingly being used as new ways of training,preoperative planning, diagnosis and surgicalnavigation. Further development of virtual andaugmented reality in medicine is moving towardsphotorealistic rendering and patient specific modeling,permitting high fidelity visual examination and userinteraction. This coincides with the current developmentin Computer Vision and Graphics where imageinformation is used directly to render novel views of ascene. These techniques require extensive use ofgeometric information about the scene and the purposeof this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of theunderlying techniques required for building patientspecific models with photorealstic rendering. It alsohighlights some of the opportunities that image basedmodeling and rendering techniques can offer in thecontext of minimally invasive surgery.
