INTRA-OPERATIVE IMAGE-GUIDED NEUROSURGERY WITH AUGMENTED REALITY VISUALIZATION

摘要

Apparatus for image-guided surgery includes medical imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus is utilized for capturing 3-dimensional (3D) volume data of patient portions in reference to a coordination system. A computer processes the volume data so as to provide a graphical representation of the data. A stero camera assembly captures a stereoscopic video view of a scene including at least portions of the patient. A tracking system measures pose data of the stereoscopic video view in reference to the coordinate system. The computer is utilized for rendering the graphical representation and the stereoscopic video view in a blended way in conjunction with the pose data so as to provide a stereoscopic augmented image. A head-mounted video-see-through displays the stereoscopic augmented image.
