Advanced imaging technologies including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have immensely expanded possibilities in imaging and surgery. The accurate visualization of bones and soft tissue has transformed the surgical management of numerous diseases, including middle ear disease, orthopedic and reconstructive cases, and cancer. In fact, in surgical subspecialties such as neurosurgery, CT and MRI are the diagnostic modalities of choice for preoperative evaluation of patients. Furthermore, the ongoing development of the newer imaging technologies continues to expand image-guided surgical treatments. The development of new radiological modalities combined with the modern training of surgeons will provide an exciting landscape for future practicing physicians.
包括计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）在内的先进成像技术极大地拓展了成像和手术的可能性。骨骼和软组织的精确可视化改变了包括中耳疾病、骨科和重建病例以及癌症在内的众多疾病的外科治疗方式。事实上，在神经外科等外科亚专业领域，CT和MRI是患者术前评估的首选诊断方式。此外，更新的成像技术的不断发展持续扩大了图像引导手术治疗的范围。新的放射学模式的发展与外科医生的现代培训相结合，将为未来的执业医生提供令人兴奋的前景。
