This study introduces an augmented reality surgical navigation system using stereo overlays for enhanced 3D visualization. The system offers improved accuracy and perception for real-time guidance during operations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Augmented Reality

Background:

  • Traditional pointer-based surgical guidance requires surgeons to look away from the operative field.
  • Previous augmented reality (AR) systems demonstrated feasibility but lacked the required alignment accuracy for effective microscope-based guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an AR system for surgical navigation using stereo overlays within an operating microscope.
  • To improve the accuracy and perception of overlaid 3D information for enhanced intraoperative guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an AR system integrating stereo overlays aligned to the operative scene within a microscope.
  • Implementation of automated calibration, error simulation, bone-implanted fiducials, and a dental attachment for precise tracking.

  • Experimental determination of visual display parameters for optimal perception of subsurface structures.

    • Main Results:

    • The system achieves a predicted accuracy of 0.9 mm with phantom errors of 0.5 mm.
    • Clinical practice demonstrated errors ranging from 0.5-1.5 mm, increasing to 2-4 mm with brain deformation.
    • Successful demonstration of easy perception of real and virtual structures with appropriate transparency in laboratory and microscope settings.

    Conclusions:

    • The enhanced AR surgical navigation system offers significant advancement over pointer-based methods.
    • High alignment accuracy is crucial for convincing guidance within a magnified microscope view.
    • The system shows potential for improving surgical precision and safety through real-time 3D visualization.
