An Augmented Reality Visor for Intraoperative Visualization, Guidance, and Temperature Monitoring Using Fluorescence.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescence-guided surgeries, including tumor resection and tissue soldering, are advancing the frontiers of surgical precision by offering enhanced control that minimizes tissue damage, improving recovery and outcomes. However, integrating fluorescence visualization with real-time temperature monitoring remains a challenge, limiting broader clinical use. We address this issue with an augmented reality (AR) visor that combines nanomaterial excitation, fluorescence detection, and temperature monitoring. Using advanced fluorescent nanoparticles like indocyanine green-doped particles and carbon nanotubes, the visor provides a comprehensive view of both the surgical field and sub-surface conditions invisible to the naked eye. This integration improves the safety and efficacy of fluorescence-g
