Augmented reality (AR) involves the overlay of computer-generated images onto the user's real-world visual field to modify or enhance the user's visual experience. With respect to neurosurgery, AR int...
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in deploying state-of-the-art augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) for agri-food applications. The benefits of AR HMDs to agri-food in...
Cooking at home is a critical survival skill. We propose a new cooking assistance system in which a user only needs to wear an all-in-one augmented reality (AR) headset without having to install any e...
This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality in reverse shoulder arthroplasty....
A systematic review was performed using the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive review of the applications of the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality in in-vivo intraoperative navigation,...
A total of 22 articles were included in the review. Data on navigated shoulder arthroplasty was extracted from 14 articles: seven hundred ninety-three patients treated with intraoperative navigated rT...
The metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality present immense potential for the future of orthopedic surgery. As these technologies advance, it is crucial to conduct additional research, foste...
In the realm of trauma response preparation for prehospital teams, the combination of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) with manikin technologies is growing in importance for creating tr...
A quantitative questionnaire was utilized to gauge the influence of AR-VR training on specific psychological and skill-based metrics, including self-efficacy, resilience, medical knowledge, profession...
Post-training evaluations indicated a significant uptick in all measured areas, with resilience (3.717±0.611 to 4.008±0.665) and intubation confidence (3.541±0.891 to 3.833±0.608) showing particularly...
Image-guided surgery has shown great utility in neurosurgery, especially in allowing for more accurate surgical planning and navigation. The current gold standard for image-guided neurosurgery is neur...
The application was developed using the Swift programming language and was tested on a replica of a human scalp under variable lighting, with different numbers of registration points and target point ...
In the best-case scenario, the proposed solution had a mean target error of 2.6 ± 1.6 mm....
Our approach provides a viable, low-cost, easy-to-use, portable method for locating points on the scalp surface with an accuracy of 2.6 ± 1.6 mm in the best-case scenario....
Percutaneous rhizotomy of the trigeminal nerve is a common surgery to manage medically refractory trigeminal neuralgia. Traditionally, these procedures have been performed based on anatomic landmarks ...
To study the potential application and benefits of AR as an adjunct to traditional fluoroscopy-guided glycerol rhizotomy (GR)....
We used traditional fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous GR technique as previously described, performed under general anesthesia. Anatomic registration to the Medivis SurgicalAR system was performed based...
A 50-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis-related right-sided classical trigeminal neuralgia had persistent pain, refractory to medications, previous gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery, and percu...
AR-assisted percutaneous rhizotomy may enhance the learning curve of these types of procedures and decrease surgery duration and radiation exposure. This allowed rapid and correct placement of a spina...
To test the technical feasibility of an augmented reality (AR) navigation system to guide bone biopsies....
We enrolled patients subjected to percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided bone biopsy using a novel AR navigation system. Data from prospectively enrolled patients (AR group) were compared with d...
Eight patients (4 males) aged 58 ± 24 years (mean ± standard deviation) were enrolled in the AR group and compared with 8 controls (4 males) aged 60 ± 15 years. No complications were observed. Procedu...
This AR navigation system is safe, feasible, and effective; it can decrease radiation exposure and number of CT passes during bone biopsies without increasing duration time....
This augmented reality (AR) navigation system is a safe and feasible guidance for bone biopsies; it may ensure a decrease in the number of CT passes and patient's radiation dose....
• This AR navigation system is a safe guidance for bone biopsies. • It ensures decrease of number of CT passes and patient's radiation exposure. • Procedure duration was similar to that of standard CT...
Stereotactic neurosurgery is an established technique, but it has several limitations. In frame-based stereotaxy using a stereotactic frame, frame setting errors may decrease the accuracy of the proce...
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically reduced opportunities for surgical skill sharing between high-income and low to middle-income countries. Augmented reality (AR) technology allows mentors in one count...
Three senior urologic surgeons in the US and UK worked with four urologic surgeon trainees across the continent of Africa using AR systems. Trainers and trainees individually completed post-operative ...
Trainees rated the quality of virtual training as equivalent to in-person training in 83% of cases (N = 5 of 6 responses). Trainers reported the technology's visual quality as "acceptable" in 67% of c...
AR technology can effectively facilitate surgical training when in-person training is limited or unavailable....
