Augmenting Performance: A Systematic Review of Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays in Surgery by Mitchell Doughty; Nilesh R. Ghugre; Graham A. Wright is a Computer Science article available to read on EtoBox.
We conducted a systematic review of recent literature to understand the current challenges in the use of optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) for augmented reality (AR) assisted surgery. Using Google Scholar, 57 relevant articles from 1 January 2021 through 18 March 2022 were identified. Selected articles were then categorized based on a taxonomy that described the required components of an effective AR-based navigation system: data, processing, overlay, view, and validation. Our findings indicated a focus on orthopedic (n=20) and maxillofacial surgeries (n=8). For preoperative input data, computed tomography (CT) (n=34), and surface rendered models (n=39) were most commonly used to represent image information. Virtual content was commonly directly superimposed with the target site (n=47); this was achieved by surface tracking of fiducials (n=30), external tracking (n=16), or manual placement (n=11). Microsoft HoloLens devices (n=24 in 2021, n=7 in 2022) were the most frequently used OST-HMDs; gestures and/or voice (n=32) served as the preferred interaction paradigm. Though promising system accuracy in the order of 2–5 mm has been demonstrated in phantom models, sev
