Surgical Navigation System for Low-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy Based on Mixed Reality

Visualization, registration and tracking techniques for augmented reality guided surgery: a review

“…The experimental results demonstrated that all 18 drills successfully hit the distal holes of the tibia models under AR guidance. In addition, real-time tracking of rigid needles was also achieved using the EM tracker (Zhou et al 2021). The fusion of virtual organs and a preoperative plan for an actual patient using a multi-information fusion method was achieved for low-dose-rate brachytherapy based on Mr By combining the localization ability of HoloLens in the real world, the virtual surgical tools were fused with the real ones for real-time guidance.…”

Utility of optical see-through head mounted displays in augmented reality-assisted surgery: A systematic review

“…General image overlay for navigation systems (n = 10) overlay a registered 3D anatomy model in order to provide surgical guidance, including applications in neuronavigation (Frantz et al, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2020), orthopaedic procedures (de Oliveira et al, 2019), algorithm-focused registration approaches (Wu et al, 2018;Aaskov et al, 2019; and maxillo-facial tumor resection (Pepe et al, 2019). Needle insertion (n = 8) has emerged as an application since 2018, mostly using the HoloLens, and was investigated in percutaneous spine procedures (Deib et al, 2018), needle biopsy (Lin et al, 2018), thoracoabdominal brachytherapy (Zhou et al, 2019b(Zhou et al, , 2020 and needlebased spinal interventions (Heinrich et al, 2019). Zhou et al (2019b) presented a mixed reality based needle insertion navigation system for low-dose-rate brachytherapy that was tested in animal (Fig.…”

“…Animal experiments (n = 5) involve living animals that are anaesthetised and enable surgeons to test surgical applications under realistic conditions that consider physiological aspects such as respiratory motion. Zhou et al (2019b) and Zhou et al (2020) tested their surgical navigation system for LDR brachytherapy on a live porcine model (Fig. 9 (c), section 5).…”
