This thesis deals with visualizing anatomical data for medical education and surgical planning purposes. To this end, we have developed a detailed virtual atlas, the Virtual Surgical Pelvis (VSP), which unifies surgically relevant knowledge on pelvic anatomy. We provide methods to share the knowledge contained in the VSP for educational purposes, and to visualize the VSP in the context of individual patients for pre-operative planning purposes.
