An Augmented Reality-Based Interaction Scheme for Robotic Pedicle Screw Placement.

ABSTRACT: Robot-assisted surgery is becoming popular in the operation room (OR) for, e.g., orthopedic surgery (among other surgeries). However, robotic executions related to surgical steps cannot simply rely on preoperative plans. Using pedicle screw placement as an example, extra adjustments are needed to adapt to the intraoperative changes when the preoperative planning is outdated. During surgery, adjusting a surgical plan is non-trivial and typically rather complex since the available interfaces used in current robotic systems are not always intuitive to use. Recently, thanks to technical advancements in head-mounted displays (HMD), augmented reality (AR)-based medical applications are emerging in the OR. The rendered virtual objects can be overlapped with real-world physical objects to offer in
