MedAR Medical Augmented Reality

Nowadays having cameras on a computer can be taken for granted and we leverage this simple fact to deliver state of the art solution for medical imaging. The aim of the article is illustrating a new method by developing an augmented reality application which is able to reconstruct 3D view of a presented medical image i.e. DICOM and by using a target image input via the camera. This methodology can help physicians to have a new perspective on their patients condition, illness that is being treated and also a new communication method. The software has minimal hardware and software dependency requirement, with an easy to use GUI. The simplicity, applicability and the fact that it can be used without complex hardware systems makes it unique and promising in the medical field.
