All-in-One Augmented Reality Guided Head and Neck Tumor Resection
Researchers have developed an augmented reality (AR) system to improve the precision of head and neck tumor resections. The system uses HoloLens 2 and markerless surface registration to relocalize positive margins from a resected specimen back to the patient's resection bed. In a phantom study, this AR guidance significantly reduced localization error compared to verbal guidance, demonstrating its feasibility for more accurate intraoperative re-excision. AI
