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
