In the past, it was often necessary to present the images on a 2D screen, even with the aid of a surgical navigation system.When a surgeon requires confirmation, they will have to take their eyes off the patient.In addition, the large instrument takes up space and isn’t easy to use.
In the future, surgeons can perform surgery using AR technology and wear special devices, and stack images of the spine on the patient to confirm the positions of the procedure.In addition, AR can also display the commands for precise instructions for positioning the surgical machinery. This allows surgeons to operate without having to look at monitors or take their eyes off their patients, and surgeons can smoothly perform more minimally-invasive procedures.
During the operation, AR can be used to observe the body part that needs to be operated on, the selection of surgical tools, how to use them in the operation, and use gestures to control the presentation angle to improve the accuracy and safety of medical treatments, and practice various emergency situations and reduce medical disputes.
