Learning Outcome
In-situ visualization in medical augmented reality (AR) enables the registered view of virtual data such as a 3D CT scan, with a video view of the real anatomy of a patient. Data can be aligned with the required accuracy such that surgeons do not have to analyze data on an external monitor in the operating room. Instead, surgeons get a direct view onto and into the patient. Mental registration of medical imagery with the operation site is not necessary anymore. Augmenting medical images and virtual surgical instruments within the body provides the most intuitive way to understand the patient’s anatomy within the region of interest. This allows for the development of completely new generations of surgical navigation systems. Our Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP) is one of the strongest and leading research centers for medical AR world-wide, featuring the world’s most accurate video-see-through AR system based on a head-mounted-display. Also, CAMP has developed the world’s first AR-enabled C-arm, CamC, which has already been tested in clinical trials in Munich. The objectives of this lecture are to have students learn the theoretical basics and practical aspects of augmented reality solutions related to the medical field. The content of the lectures are outlined below.
