“…Glasses can be used to display information that might be beneficiary to the operator, such as a stream of 2D video in holographic space, 3D volumetric visualization of the patient's body, or direct overlay of the patient, which is not possible with standard displays. Systems based on mixed reality have already been used in cardiac interventions and cardiac surgery [17][18][19][20], orthopaedics [21][22][23], vascular surgery [24,25], and surgical oncology [26].…”

Exact biopsy planning and careful execution of needle injection is crucial to ensure successful procedure completion as initially intended while minimizing the risk of complications. This study introduces a solution aimed at helping the operator navigate to precisely position the needle in a previously planned trajectory utilizing a mixed reality headset. A markerless needle tracking method was developed by integrating deep learning and deterministic computer vision techniques. The system is based on superimposing imaging data onto the patient’s body in order to directly perceive the anatomy and determine a path from the selected injection site to the target location. Four types of tests were conducted to assess the system’s performance: measuring the accuracy of needle pose estimation, determining the distance between injection sites and designated targets, evaluating the efficiency of material collection, and comparing procedure time and number of punctures required with and without the system. These tests, involving both phantoms and physician participation in the latter two, demonstrated the accuracy and usability of the proposed solution. The results showcased a significant improvement, with a reduction in number of punctures needed to reach the target location. The test was successfully completed on the first attempt in 70% of cases, as opposed to only 20% without the system. Additionally, there was a 53% reduction in procedure time, validating the effectiveness of the system.

Holographic-type communication (HTC) is on the verge of revolutionizing current communication paradigms. It will seamlessly connect people from distant locations through a fully immersive experience that will engage all five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. However, the practical realization and widespread adoption of HTC impose significant demands on current networks and enduser devices. While recent studies have primarily focused on discussing the HTC challenges and potential research directions, this paper takes a further step by evaluating the capabilities of wireless networks to meet HTC requirements. Specifically, it highlights the limitations of the fifth-generation (5G) networks by identifying HTC-related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and explores the potential of the sixth-generation (6G) networks. Moreover, it not only proposes potential research approaches for HTC enhancement but also analyzes their impact on the challenges in HTC implementation. Finally, the paper questions the ubiquitous potential of 6G, suggesting that a coordinated approach leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for jointly optimizing user sites and communication networks is the most promising strategy, rather than solely relying on the capabilities of specific network generations.
