This paper introduces MedicalStudio: a composable, open-source easily evolvable cross-platform framework that supports surgical planning and intra-operative guidance with augmented interactions. It is designed to integrate the whole computer aided surgery process to which both researchers and clinicians participate. In this paper we provide a description of the framework architecture as well as some medical components and applications already developed into this framework. Collaboration with several research centers and medical clinics has shown the versatility and promising dissemination of this medical framework.
