Augmented Reality Assisted Sinus Surgery

چکیده
In this paper, we propose an augmented reality (AR) assisted sinus surgery system, in which the surgical outcome is improved by providing a new way of visualization which embeds virtual environments into the real scene. Such an AR assisted system, with a preoperative CT scan registered and displayed throughout the surgery, would provide the surgeon visibility of the nearby structures surrounding the endoscopes and the tip of the surgical tool. It would help a surgeon to navigate the instrument to the targeted site while avoiding any possible damage to other delicate tissues. It is especially valuable in revised surgery when the normal landmarks may not be present. For these reasons, the proposed system can make a much safer surgery for the patient. Keywords—Augmented Reality, Sinus surgery

Application of Augmented Reality to Laparoscopic Surgery
The usefulness and feasibility of an augmented reality visualization system for laparoscopic surgery is examined. This technology could enable physicians to see data, such as medical images, as well as the patient’s 3-D anatomy, in the context of the patient rather than viewing a 2-D video monitor. Three new results will be presented: 1. A study whose chief findings were that augmented reality ...

متن کاملpq-space Based Non-Photorealistic Rendering for Augmented Reality
The increasing use of robotic assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) provides an ideal environment for using Augmented Reality (AR) for performing image guided surgery. Seamless synthesis of AR depends on a number of factors relating to the way in which virtual objects appear and visually interact with a real environment. Traditional overlaid AR approaches generally suffer from a loss of dep...
متن کاملAugmented reality assisted surgery: a urologic training tool
Augmented reality is widely used in aeronautics and is a developing concept within surgery. In this pilot study, we developed an application for use on Google Glass ® optical head-mounted display to train urology residents in how to place an inflatable penile prosthesis. We use the phrase Augmented Reality Assisted Surgery to describe this novel application of augmented reality in the setting o...
