Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Augmented Reality
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Image overlay projection enhances surgical visualization by displaying anatomical structures directly on the patient.
  • Current technologies face challenges in calibration, registration, and projection setup.
  • Improved 3D understanding and identification of critical structures are key benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, portable, handheld-navigated image overlay device using miniature laser projection.
  • To overcome limitations of existing image overlay technologies in surgical applications.
  • To assess the accuracy, visibility, and feasibility of the device in a surgical workflow.

Main Methods:

  • A handheld device utilizing miniature laser projection technology was developed.
  • The device integrates with existing navigation systems for tracking and projection.
  • Modified camera calibration techniques were used for projector calibration.
  • Projection accuracy was verified, and visibility was tested on biological tissue.

Main Results:

  • The device achieved a mean projection error of 1.3 mm.
  • Visibility testing confirmed suitability for displaying anatomical structures on organ surfaces.
  • Feasibility was demonstrated during open liver surgery, showing quick and unobtrusive deployment.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed device offers a portable and effective solution for intraoperative image overlay projection.
  • It addresses limitations in current technologies, improving surgical navigation and visualization.
  • The device shows promise for seamless integration into surgical workflows.
