Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly used for surgical guidance, improving the transfer of pre-operative imaging data to the operating room.
  • AR-based image overlay surgery enhances surgical accuracy and can reduce operation times by accurately aligning virtual patient models with the physical body surface.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review tracking and registration methods for developing in-house Augmented Reality surgical guidance systems.
  • To identify current technologies and challenges in implementing AR-based image overlay surgery in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 76 studies published between 2004 and August 2018.
  • Analysis of tracking and registration techniques, including non-invasive markers, custom algorithms, and software development kits (SDKs).

Main Results:

  • Most studies utilized non-invasive markers and custom algorithms/SDKs for tracking and registration.
  • Few studies explored portable, wearable systems with holographic headsets, SDKs, and game engines for hands-free navigation.
  • Accuracy assessments often involved limited subjects/measurements and did not extensively evaluate impacts on surgery times or success rates.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need for more procedure-specific validation studies with larger sample sizes and comprehensive data on surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
  • Validating integrated systems (holographic headsets, SDKs, game engines) is crucial for facilitating mobile AR application development and clinical implementation of AR-based image overlay surgery.
