Abstract
We developed an augmented system reality system targeting image guidance for surgical procedures. The surgeon wears a video-see-through head mounted display that provides him with a stereo video view of the patient. The live video images are augmented with graphical representations of anatomical structures that are segemented from medical image data. The surgeon can se e.g. a tumor in its actual location inside the patient. This in-situ visualization, where the computer maps the image information onto the patient, promises the most direct, intuitive guidance for surgical procedures. in thispaper, we discuss technical details of teh system and describe a first pre-clinical evaluation. This fisrt evaluation is very positive and encourages us to get our ready for installation in UCLA’s iMRI operating room to perform clinical trials.
