The book presents the concept of a navigated stereo surgical microscope with stereo augmented reality and image extraction. The concept allows to display the segmented anatomical structures and / or access paths directly in the surgeon´s field of view without diverting surgeons´ attention away from the surgical field. The available image extraction can provide intraoperative quality assurance through stereo reconstruction of the surgical site. The implemented application "AROSCOPE" is based on open-source libraries such; ITK, VTK, IGSTK, OpenCV, CMake and uses the optical tracking technology for real-time surgical navigation.
