AR/VR using Hololens in Neurosurgery


INTRODUCTION

Over the last century we have moved from plain x-rays cat skins and mris to what we think will be the final frontier which is in mixed reality my name is Osama Chowdhury i'm a neurosurgeon and one of the co-founders of metavis i'm Chris Morley co-founder OF MEDIVIS i'm a radiologist by training on the radiology side we're really interested in CT guided procedures

A recent study on ablation showed the average error rate in the placement of the catheter to that position in three-dimensional coordinate space was 2.2 centimeters that was in spite of using 10 CT scans over the course of the two and a half hour procedure with surgical ar on hololens we could potentially scan the patient just once and place the catheter with millimeter accuracy in a fraction of the time

Some of my favorite cases to do using the technology is what we call cerebrovascular bypass procedures one blood vessel or part of the brain isn't getting enough blood supply so you route in another blood vessel and stitch it in using the finest sutures possible before we were using ultrasound technology to find where that blood vessel was but here we could take a CT scan of a patient and overlay it directly onto them at least 200 operations have now been performed using this technology so that's what really excites us when we can do some of these routine procedures in just an inherently superior way so we can get our patients in and out of the operating room and safely back to their families i can't explain to you how fortunate we are as clinicians to be alive when this sort of technology is available like this is the work of science fiction.
