Abstract

Imaging is one of the pillars for the ongoing evolution of surgical oncology toward a precision paradigm. In the present overview, some established or emerging intraoperative imaging technologies are described in light of the vision and experience of our group in image-guided surgery, focusing on digestive surgical oncology.

Keywords: computer-assisted surgery; multimodal imaging; precision medicine; surgical oncology.
