Area of Science:

  • Medical Engineering
  • Computer Vision
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Accurate surgical guidance is critical in medicine.
  • Image overlay projection enables augmented reality (AR) by projecting computer-generated images onto the patient.
  • Current methods face challenges in precise and efficient projection of surgical navigation information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a projector-based surgical navigation system for enhanced AR in medical procedures.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of projecting surgical navigation data onto the target area.

Main Methods:

  • A projector-based surgical navigation system was developed.
  • A gray code-based calibration method integrated the projector with a camera and optical spatial locator.
  • System accuracy was validated through back projection and model projection error analysis, alongside puncture experiments.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved an average projection error of 3.37 pixels (x-direction) and 1.51 pixels (y-direction) in back projection.
  • Model projection showed an average position error of 1.03 ± 0.43 mm.
  • Puncture experiments demonstrated a 99% correct rate, indicating high system efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed projector-based AR system effectively enhances surgical navigation.
  • The system offers accurate and intuitive visualization of surgical plans and anatomical structures.
  • This technology has the potential to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes.
