Abstract
Researching in new technologies for diagnosis, planning and medical treatment have allowed the development of computer tools that provide new ways of representing data obtained from patient’s medical images such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this sense, augmented reality (AR) technologies provide a new form of data representation by combining the common analysis using images and the ability to superimpose virtual 3D representations of the organs of the human body in the real environment. In this paper we describe the development of a generic computer platform based on augmented reality technology for surgical preoperative planning. In particular, the surgeon can navigate in the 3D models of the patient’s organs in order to have the possibility to perfectly understand the anatomy and plan in the best way the surgical procedure. In addition, a touchless interaction with the virtual organs is available thanks to the use of an armband provided of electromyographic muscle sensors. To validate the system, we focused in two cases of study: navigation through aorta artery for mitral valve repair surgery and navigation through vascular structures in the brain for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
