Real-Time Augmented Reality for Robotic-Assisted Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Training in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery is crucial, but the training with actual surgery robots is relatively expensive. Therefore, improving the efficiency of this training is of great interest in robotic surgical education. One of the current limitations of this training is the limited visual communication between the instructor and the trainee. As the trainee’s view is limited to that of the surgery robot’s camera, even a simple task such as pointing is difficult. We present a compact system to overlay the video streams of the da Vinci surgery systems with interactive three-dimensional computer graphics in real time. Our system makes it possible to easily deploy new user interfaces for robotic-assisted surgery training. The system has been positively evaluated by two experienced instructors in robot-assisted surgery.

pq-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...

Medical image processing leads to an improvement in patient care by guiding the surgical gesture. Three-dimensional models of patients that are generated from computed tomographic scans or magnetic resonance imaging allow improved surgical planning and surgical simulation that offers the opportunity for a surgeon to train the surgical gesture before performing it for real. These two preoperativ...

متن کاملStereoscopic augmented reality system for computer-assisted surgery
A first architecture for an augmented reality system in computer-assisted surgery is presented in this paper. Like in ”X-ray vision” systems, a stereoscopic overlay is visually superimposed on the patient. The main purpose of our approach is user-friendliness for the surgeon: no additive wearing equipment is required. Registration, rigid bodies location and 3D volume computation are proved to r...
