Description

Yichun Shen and co-authors review augmented reality as a visual guide for surgery. Augmented reality overlays digital images onto the surgeon's view of the patient, promising better precision and safety around the operation. The review traces the technology from its first uses in brain surgery to today's systems.

The authors sort out the hard technical problems that remain: fast image processing, building three-dimensional models, tracking position in space, and lining the overlay up with the body. Accuracy and steadiness in real operations decide whether surgeons can trust the display. They also look ahead to skin-worn electronics and machine learning as ways to sharpen the systems. Their verdict is optimistic, provided the accuracy problems are solved for routine care.
