Technical report: Clinical feasibility of augmented reality-navigated chronic subdural hematoma evacuation

Le résumé fourni par la source

Chronic subdural hematoma is an increasingly common pathology for neurosurgeons. Management of chronic Subdural Hematoma (cSDH) poses unique challenges and can be fraught with potential complications. Understanding the spatial relationships of cSDH to adjacent brain tissue and skull topography is critical for successful surgical treatment of this disease. The aim of this report is to highlight the feasibility and efficacy of a novel Augmented Reality (AR) overlay tool for surgical planning with technical description of two surgical cases using AR overlay for surgical management of cSDH. This technical report describes a fiducial-less AR overlay tool for surgical planning of surgical evacuation of cSDH. The AR system was used to superimpose 3D anatomy onto the patients head to provide image guidance during two cases of cSDH evacuation.
