augmented reality-based visualization of a resected tumor specimen

In this research protocol, we expand upon our previously described three-dimensional (3D) scanning protocol with the addition of augmented reality (AR) technology. Surgical margin status remains one of the most important prognostic features in cancers of the head and neck and is one of the few factors under the control of the head and neck surgeon1,2,3. The complex 3D anatomy of the head and neck often creates difficulty for surgeons attempting to relocate a positive or close margin, and prior studies have demonstrated that accuracy in relocating margins following initial resection is suboptimal4,5,6. As a result, oncologic outcomes following re-resection remain poor2,3. This protocol investigates the feasibility and accuracy of AR to guide the re-resection of initial positive or close margins in head and neck oncologic surgery. This technology allows surgeons to replace a 3D scanned virtual hologram of the resected cancer specimen back into the resection bed to improve visualization of re-resection location to adequately clear an initial positive or close margin.&#160;
ETHICS DISCLAIMER:
This protocol includes the use of cadavers with approval from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center&#8217;s Center for Experiential Learning and Assessment. This protocol was performed in compliance with Vanderbilt University Medical Center guidelines for human subjects research under IRB #221733.

This protocol was established in a cadaveric study7. Twenty cadaveric resections from the head and neck were completed; 13 (65%) cutaneous and 7 (35%) oral cavity resections were performed. The mean value of the greatest diameter of the resected specimens was 4.5 cm (range, 2.5&#8211;8.2 cm). The relocation error was (mean &#177; S.D.) 4 mm &#177; 3.9 mm (range, 1&#8211;15 mm). A significant difference was observed between the mean relocation error of maxillectomy and mandibulectomy specimens and ...

Place a resected tumor specimen on a 3D scanning table connected to a computer. Scan the anterior and posterior surfaces to create a 3D image.
Once this 3D image matches the physical specimen, open it in augmented reality or AR software.
Wear a head-mounted display or HMD and connect it wirelessly to the AR software.
This allows visualization of the 3D image through the HMD device as a virtual hologram of the specimen.
Align and anchor the hologram to ensure spatial accuracy within the AR environment, then apply textures to enhance realism.
Use a voice command to open the hologram in a virtual environment and, with hand gestures, reposition, rotate, and adjust the size.
Alternatively, use voice commands for hands-free adjustments.
This augmented reality-based visualization generates a tumor hologram that aids in precise margin identification at the surgery site.

Usability Evaluation of Augmented Reality: A Neuro-Information-Systems Study

This study introduces an experimental paradigm for a usability test of emerging technologies in a management information system (MIS). The usability test included both subjective and objective evaluations. For the subjective evaluation, a usability questionnaire and a NASA-TLX scale were adopted. For the objective evaluation, methods of Neuro-Information-Systems (NeuroIS) were used. From a NeuroIS perspective, this study used mobile fNIRS and eye tracking glasses for multimodal measurements, which solved the problem of ecological validity of cognitive neuroscience tools used in real-world behavior experiments. This study used Augmented Reality (AR) integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT) as an experimental object. Comparing the differences in the neuroimaging data, the physiological data, the usability questionnaire, and the NASA-TLX scale data between the two information-search modes (AR versus a website), information search with AR had a higher efficiency and a lower cognitive load compared with information search with a website during the process of consumption decision-making. The usability experiment results demonstrate that AR, as an emerging technology in retail, can effectively enhance consumer experiences and increase their purchase intention. The experimental paradigm, combining both subjective and objective evaluations in this study, could be applied to a usability test for emerging technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, wearable technology, robotics, and big data. It provides a practical experimental solution for the user experience in human-computer-interactions with the adoption of emerging technologies.

This study presents an experimental paradigm for&#160;a&#160;usability test combining subjective and objective evaluations. The objective evaluation adopted Neuro-Information-Systems (NeuroIS) methods, and the subjective evaluation adopted a usability questionnaire and a NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) scale.

Augmented Reality Navigation-Guided Core Decompression for Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common joint disease in young and middle-aged patients, which seriously burdens their lives and work. For early-stage ONFH, core decompression surgery is a classical and effective hip preservation therapy. In traditional procedures of core decompression with Kirschner wire, there are still many problems such as X-ray exposure, repeated puncture verification, and damage to normal bone tissue. The blindness of the puncture process and the inability to provide real-time visualization are crucial reasons for these problems.
To optimize this procedure, our team developed an intraoperative navigation system on the basis of augmented reality (AR) technology. This surgical system can intuitively display the anatomy of the surgical areas and render preoperative images and virtual needles to intraoperative video in real-time. With the guide of the navigation system, surgeons can accurately insert Kirschner wires into the targeted lesion area and minimize the collateral damage. We conducted 10 cases of core decompression surgery with this system. The efficiency of positioning and fluoroscopy is greatly improved compared to the traditional procedures, and the accuracy of puncture is also guaranteed.

Augmented reality technology was applied to core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head to realize real-time visualization of this surgical procedure. This method can effectively improve the safety and precision of core decompression.

Automatic Surgery in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Using Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) is in high demand in medical applications. The aim of the paper is to provide automatic surgery using AR for the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). TAVR is the alternate medical procedure for open-heart surgery. TAVR replaces the injured valve with the new one using a catheter. In the existing model, remote guidance is given, while the surgery is not automated based on AR. In this article, we deployed a spatially aligned camera that is connected to a motor for the automation of image capture in the surgical environment. The camera tracks the 2D high-resolution image of the patient's heart along with the catheter testbed. These captured images are uploaded using the mobile app to a remote surgeon who is a cardiology expert. This image is utilized for the 3D reconstruction from 2D image tracking. This is viewed in a HoloLens like an emulator in a laptop. The surgeon can remotely inspect the 3D reconstructed images with additional transformation features such as rotation and scaling. These transformation features are enabled through hand gestures. The surgeon's guidance is transmitted to the surgical environment to automate the process in real-time scenarios. The catheter testbed in the surgical field is controlled by the hand gesture guidance of the remote surgeon. The developed prototype model demonstrates the effectiveness of remote surgical guidance through AR.
