Abstract

Systems and methods for virtual reality or augmented reality (VR / AR) visualization of 3D medical images using a VR / AR visualization system are disclosed. The VR / AR visualization system includes a computing device operatively coupled to a VR / AR device, and the VR / AR device includes a holographic display and at least one sensor. The holographic display is configured to display a holographic image toan operator. The computing device is configured to receive at least one stored 3D image of a subject's anatomy and at least one real-time 3D position of at least one surgical instrument. The computing device is further configured to register the at least one real-time 3D position of the at least one surgical instrument to correspond to the at least one 3D image of the subject's anatomy, and to generate the holographic image comprising the at least one real-time position of the at least one surgical instrument overlaid on the at least one 3D image of the subject's anatomy.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 310,969, filed March 21, 2016, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Background technique [0003] A central problem in interventional surgery remains the visualization of unexposed anatomical structures within organs and vessels and the positioning of medical devices such as catheters, stents, stylets, and the like. As surgery moves from maximal exposure to minimal invasiveness, the need for enhanced visualization is even more profound. Examples include minimally invasive transcatheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias. [0004] In a healthy heart, organized electrical excitation causes the heart to contract. When this electrical activity becomes irregular, the heart no longer pumps efficiently, and the patient experiences dizziness, fainting, and / or sudden death. According to statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Preve...
