Multimodal images of a patient obtained at different time, pre-surgical planning, intra-
procedural guidance and visualization, and post-procedural assessment are the core …

The surgical navigation system enhances surgical safety and accuracy by providing precise
guidance. However, traditional pose estimation algorithms lack real-time performance and …

Background Augmented reality neuronavigation (ARN) systems can overlay three-
dimensional anatomy and disease without the need for a two-dimensional external monitor …

Background and objective The distal interlocking of intramedullary nail remains a technically
demanding procedure. Existing augmented reality based solutions still suffer from hand-eye …

Objective. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) induces an electric field (E-field) in the
cortex. To facilitate stimulation targeting, image-guided neuronavigation systems have been …

OBJECTIVE Low registration errors are an important prerequisite for reliable navigation,
independent of its use in cranial or spinal surgery. Regardless of whether navigation is used …

Navigation systems are commonly used in neurosurgical operating theaters. Generally, they
either rely on the use of preoperative or intraoperative image data. Using preoperative …

This paper quantifies the registration and fusion display errors of augmented reality-based
nasal endoscopic surgery (ARNES). We comparatively investigated the spatial calibration …

In many surgery assistance systems, cumbersome equipment or complicated algorithms are
often introduced to build the whole system. To build a system without cumbersome …

Background Registration accuracy is a main factor influencing overall navigation accuracy.
Standard fiducial-or landmark-based patient registration is user dependent and error-prone …
