    Area of Science:

    • Medical Technology
    • Computer-Aided Surgery
    • Augmented Reality

    Background:

    • Head-mounted displays (HMDs) enable overlaying 3D imaging data onto patients during surgery.
    • Current HMD-AR systems for surgical navigation require complex integration and specialized expertise, hindering progress.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and evaluate an integrated, adaptable HMD-based AR surgical navigation framework.
    • To simplify the use of HMD-AR devices as stand-alone surgical navigation systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a framework tracking 2D patterns on patients and instruments.
    • Implemented tool calibration (pivot and reference-based) and image-to-patient registration (point-based matching, manual positioning).
    • Evaluated on HoloLens 2 and Magic Leap 2 devices for AR-guided needle insertion and rib fracture localization in phantom setups.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved mean tooltip calibration accuracy of 1 mm.
    • Demonstrated registration accuracy of 3 mm.
    • Attained targeting accuracy below 5 mm in surgical use cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The framework provides an easy-to-use, configurable tool for HMD-based AR surgical navigation.
    • The system is adaptable and extensible for diverse surgical applications.
    • The framework is publicly available for further research and development.
