Augmented reality (AR) is an innovative system that enhances the real world by superimposing virtual objects on reality. The aim of this study was to analyze application AR in medicine and which its technical solutions are most used. We carried out a scoping review articles published between 2019 February 2022. initial search yielded total 2649 articles. After applying filters, removing duplica...

PURPOSE To compare the long-term surgical outcomes of augmented bilateral lateral rectus (LR) recession with original surgery. DESIGN Retrospective, nonrandomized clinical study. METHODS A total of 447 children with ≤35 prism diopters (PD) of basic and divergence excess-type intermittent exotropia, who underwent original bilateral LR recession based on the largest angle measured at distance...

A major research area in Computer Assisted Intervention (CAI) is to aid laparoscopic surgery teams with Augmented Reality (AR) guidance. This involves registering data from other modalities such as MR and fusing it the video real-time, reveal location of hidden critical structures. We present first system for AR guided uterus. works pre-operative or CT monocular laparoscopes, without requiring ...

The advantages of the Minimally Invasive Surgery are evident for the patients, but these techniques have some limitations for the surgeons. In medicine, the Augmented Reality (AR) technology allows surgeons to have a sort of “Xray” vision of the patient’s body and can help them during the surgical procedures. In this paper we present two applications of Augmented Reality that could be used as s...

This paper describes a computer system to visualize the location and alignment of an arthroscope using augmented virtuality. A 3D computer model of the patient's joint (from CT) is shown, along with a model of the tracked arthroscopic probe and the projection of the camera image onto the virtual joint. A user study, using plastic bones instead of live patients, was made to determine the effecti...

This paper describes a concept of an innovative medical application with augmented-reality support. This work is based on a cooperation between the Div. Medical and Biological Informatics at Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ), and the Department of Photogrammetry and Cartography of the Technical University Berlin. Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. An aug...

Background Over the last three decades, surgical practice has undergone a significant change with a move towards minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as the standard of care [1]. Although this has brought with it significant benefits, problems have also been associated with the advent of MIS. Perhaps the most substantial limitation associated with MIS is the loss of haptic feedback; this deficit is...
