“…Thus, improved accuracy may follow recalibration. Screw plans are evaluated in differing ways in the literature; Liang et al [12] compute position and orientation errors by comparing screw placements to a ground truth plan, Kawaguchi et al [9] determine critical breaches of the screws using postoperative CT, and Zhang et al [22] use perforation of the pedicle wall and deviation from the lateral pedicle wall. Following these evaluation methods, we reported both the position and orientation accuracy of the TUSS-registered screw plans-with reference to the ground truth plans-and also examined the registered plans for pedicle wall perforations.…”

“…Although this robot provides excellent clinical outcomes [7], its cost and complexity, which are far greater than our TUSS-based system, may impose limitations on its applicability as the standard of care. In other approaches, Liang et al [12] used the intersection of two laser planes to guide the pedicle probe to position the guidewires for screws and Von Jako et al [20] used electromagnetic tracking in minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw placement. Although these two technologies reduce the use of fluoroscopy during the procedure, they do not eliminate radiation entirely like our TUSS-based system does.…”

“…The positions of the camera and the patient are determined by measuring distances between individual trackers and markers. Several studies reported using a set of infrared markers [ 4 , 10 , 13 , 33 , 37 – 40 ]. A newer approach suggested by Wild et al [ 41 ] involved using fluorescent markers during laparoscopic procedures.…”

“…An exact comparison of accuracy between specific studies is impossible due to variable conditions and different approaches for measuring accuracy. Optical systems feature precision within 5 mm in several studies [ 8 , 10 , 15 , 18 , 35 , 37 , 44 , 57 – 59 ], which is considered sufficient for clinical application. The required precision differs greatly among various procedures and should be determined individually.…”

Introduction The development augmented reality devices allow physicians to incorporate data visualization into diagnostic and treatment procedures to improve work efficiency, safety, and cost and to enhance surgical training. However, the awareness of possibilities of augmented reality is generally low. This review evaluates whether augmented reality can presently improve the results of surgical procedures. Methods We performed a review of available literature dating from 2010 to November 2016 by searching PubMed and Scopus using the terms “augmented reality” and “surgery.” Results. The initial search yielded 808 studies. After removing duplicates and including only journal articles, a total of 417 studies were identified. By reading of abstracts, 91 relevant studies were chosen to be included. 11 references were gathered by cross-referencing. A total of 102 studies were included in this review. Conclusions The present literature suggest an increasing interest of surgeons regarding employing augmented reality into surgery leading to improved safety and efficacy of surgical procedures. Many studies showed that the performance of newly devised augmented reality systems is comparable to traditional techniques. However, several problems need to be addressed before augmented reality is implemented into the routine practice.

“…However, the predetermined template image might become invalid and thus may cause identification failure. During the calculation of mutual information, threshold value selection presents a problem, which cannot be determined unless a numerous experiments and tests are performed [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Li et al [10] proposed the use of clustering algorithm for the automatic identification of information on the mark points and determination of the grid posture of the marked points through the table of row/column index.…”

Identifying the coordinates of marked points in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is one of the key problems in DSA image-guided navigation systems for interventional radiological procedures. DSA images directly affect the precision and speed of navigation. In this work, a novel method for marked point identification was proposed on the basis of the geographical concept of triangle topology to identify the coordinates of the marked points in a DSA image rapidly and accurately. First, a calibration model with special and distributed marked points was designed. The identifiable marked points from the pretreated image were then selected and the image coordinate of the fourth marked point was verified for calibration. Subsequently, the structure of the triangle topology and proportional relation were used to confirm the uniformized coordinates of the four points. These four points were used to calculate the homography from the coordinates of the uniformized coordinate system to the coordinates of the image coordinate system. Finally, the image coordinates of all the marked points were derived through the values of the uniformized coordinates and homography. Results show that through the marked point identification method proposed in this study, the locations of the marked points can be determined accurately and quickly in the image coordinate system and uniformized coordinate system based on the triangle topology structure, which was formed by the identifiable marked points. The image coordinates of all the marked points can be recalculated without identifying the special marked points. The average error in the algorithm is smaller than 1 mm, and the running time is shorter than 1 s. These values satisfy the requirements of actual surgery in terms of the precision and speed. Thus, the proposed method can provide practical reference for future navigation system based on DSA images for interventional operation.
