Novel Application of Real-Time Editable 3D-reconstructed Imaging in a Mixed-Reality Holographic Overlay Using a Video Pass-through Head-Mounted Display – A Pathway to future Navigation in Thoracic Surgery?
Abstract:Introduction: 3D reconstructions of widely available high-resolution imaging is only rarely used for
preprocedural assessment in thoracic surgery. However, it is a promising tool that aims to improve
patient-specific treatment planning. Increasingly available mixed reality hardware based on video
pass-through technology enables to project image data as a hologram onto the patient. We describe
the novel method of real-time 3D surgical planning in a mixed reality setting presenting two
representative cases.
