NARVIS - navigated augmented reality visualization system

Advanced visualization is getting increasingly important for the operation room of the future. The increasing number of available medical images must be presented to surgery team in new ways in order to support them rather than overloading with more information. In our project NARVIS we integrate an HMD-based (head mounted display) AR system into the operation room for 3D in situ visualization of computed tomography (CT) images. The final system aims at spinal surgery. The work is in close collaboration with our project partners “Klinikum für Unfallchirgie” at LMU, A.R.T. Weilheim, and Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton. The project is funded by Bayerische Forschungsstiftung.

NARVIS


In a phantom experiment we have used a 3D augmented reality (AR) workspace, in which the user wears a video-feed-through head-mounted display to perform operative tasks in thoracoscopic spine surgery. The set up was used to observe and fuse preoperative 3D CT-data and intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy-data as well as 2D endoscopic images in-situ, i.e. in their actual location, overlaid onto a stereoscopic video view. In-situ visualization of rendered three-dimensional volumes (e.g. implants, vascular and neural structures) facilitates the understanding of the object's three-dimensional structure. Furthermore, the system has the ability to track hand-held surgical instruments in 2 different techniques. Graphically enhanced instruments improve the perception of tool position and orientation in respect to targets in the rendered volume. With an intuitive augmented reality user interface the surgeon controls the visualization of the volumetric data. In the phantom experiment the system has proven to effectively enhance information in minimally-invasive spinal surgery.
