Augmented Reality Enhanced Surgery: Use of Holographic Technology in Cranial and Spinal Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Surgery
Registration Number
NCT03921385
Lead Sponsor
University of Pennsylvania
Brief Summary

* To demonstrate the feasibility of integrating holographic technology as a heads-up display for navigated cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures. This entails simply displaying the navigation screen currently used by Medtronic Stealth or Brainlab systems as a holographic image that can be positioned closer to the operative field.

* To develop a systematic, efficient communication and registration process allowing holographic technology to be potentially utilized as a navigation tool in cranial and spinal neurosurgery. This entails developing software, optimizing connection parameters, and devising registration techniques incorporating line-of-sight fiducial markers to allow the holographic device to function as a navigation instrument.
