The navigation information during image-guided surgeries is usually displayed in external screens which force surgeons to switch views between the surgical field and the screen during surgery. Augmented reality (AR) technology has been applied to surgeries in order to improve the navigation workflow. However, the existing AR systems are really complex and expensive, and they present important drawbacks. In this paper, we present a new AR navigation system based on a movable tablet display and a multi-camera optical tracking system. Firstly, the movable tablet device allows to show the navigation information within the actual surgical field, thanks to a wireless connection with the computer. Moreover, another available functionality of this system is the possibility of showing the anatomical structures of interest from the tablet viewpoint, as looking through a window into the internal anatomy of the patient. The system performance was assessed by a group of experts in the field of image-guided surgery and surgeons. The proposed AR systems was concluded to be really useful in a wide range of surgical procedures, allowing an accurate intraoperative planning of the intervention.

Background

The navigation information during image-guided surgeries is usually displayed in external screens which force surgeons to switch views between the surgical field and the screen during surgery. Augmented reality (AR) technology has been applied to surgeries in order to improve the navigation workflow. However, the existing AR systems are really complex and expensive, and they present important drawbacks. A new AR navigation system based on a movable tablet display and a multi-camera optical tracking system has been implemented using Slicer.
