Abstract

Imaging is an integral component in the investigation of urologic disease. Continued advancement in both hardware and software tools have given rise to novel image modalities and innovative approaches for diagnosis and intervention. An appreciation of the fundamentals of imaging techniques is essential to enable Urologists to employ them in routine clinical practice. The objective of this chapter is to review the current state of the art regarding techniques in imaging and their applications in urologic interventions, with special attention to registration, image fusion, and tracking in diagnostic and therapeutic implementation.
