Pref ace
A dvances in imaging technologies have been a key source of innovation in
modern medicine and surgery. In the preoperative setting, computed tomog-
raphy (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US) play
indispensable roles in clinical diagnosis and surgical planning. Modern
endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery can trace their foundation to the
invention of L ichtleiter by Bozzini in 1806 and the fi rst laparoscopic proce-
dures a century later. In urological surgery and beyond, patients and their
surgeons today strive for precise surgical treatments in the least invasive man-
ner while minimizing collateral damage to surrounding organs.
Advances in Image - Guided Urologic Surgery is a compendium of the
emerging fi eld of image-guided surgery and intervention in urology. The
book is divided into four sections. The fi rst section focuses on optical imag-
ing technologies including wide-fi eld fl uorescence, optical coherence tomog-
raphy, and endomicroscopy. The second section addresses the current
applications of intraoperative ultrasound. The third section focuses on the
integration of CT- and MRI-guided surgical interventions, particularly for
prostate and kidney cancer. The fourth section introduces other emerging
applications including augmented reality, simulators, and molecular
imaging.
T he intended audience of this book includes urological surgeons and train-
ees, biomedical engineers, and imaging scientists interested in technology
translation. We are grateful for the contribution of a group of international
experts who are among the foremost leaders in this emerging fi eld. Ultimately,
we share the common goal that by being able to “see” better, we will deliver
better surgical outcomes for our patients.
