Intraoperative clinical application of augmented reality in neurosurgery: A systematic review

Augmented reality in neurosurgical navigation: A survey

“…Contreras López et al 21 AR MRI/CT I 3D images injected with AR allow successful integration of models in blood vessels, tumours and other lesions.…”

Augmented reality to facilitate students’ biology mastering concepts and digital literacy

“…This development also plays a role in the event of learning media. Learning media are becoming increasingly exciting and more concise, although they do not reduce the essence of the material (Lee & Wong, 2019;Lopez, Navarro, & Crispin, 2019). One of the developments of learning media, which is currently still new, is learning media by using augmented reality.…”

Introduction of new surgical techniques and technologies

“…1 Some of these have been limited only by the imagination and, on other occasions, have been facilitated by technological advances that have permitted the previously impossible to occur. 3,4 The challenge of adequately assessing and safely introducing new techniques has been recognized for many years, but pragmatic solutions to deal with this have been slow in initiation and adoption. 2 Radiological imaging and equipment development have been particularly enabling for many surgical interventions.…”

“…2 Radiological imaging and equipment development have been particularly enabling for many surgical interventions. 3,4 The challenge of adequately assessing and safely introducing new techniques has been recognized for many years, but pragmatic solutions to deal with this have been slow in initiation and adoption. The IDEAL Collaboration, started by a group of surgeons, methodologists, statisticians and ethicists in Balliol College, Oxford, over a decade ago, is attempting to address this issue.…”

“…the TAILORx study). 3 Over the last 10 years, since the formation of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand Inc. (BreastSurgANZ) and the consequent creation of a more formal breast surgeon training programme that includes two Oncoplastic Breast Surgery courses, there has been a substantial increase in the number of breast surgeons with a broader skill base that includes oncoplastic breast conservation surgery (OBCS) techniques. The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in appropriate patients and the application of oncoplastic techniques increase the proportion of patients suitable for BCS.…”
