Pre-operative imaging has been used earlier to guide traditional surgical navigation
systems. There has been a lot of effort in the last decade to integrate augmented reality into …

Background The aim of the present systematic review was to screen the literature and to
describe current applications of augmented reality. Materials and methods The protocol …

Augmentation reality technology offers virtual information in addition to that of the real
environment and thus opens new possibilities in various fields. The medical applications of …

Purpose We present a novel augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system based on
ultrasound-assisted registration for pedicle screw placement. This system provides the …

Background Oral and maxillofacial surgery has not been benefitting from image guidance
techniques owing to the limitations in image registration. Methods A real‐time markerless …

Background Image registration lies in the core of augmented reality (AR), which aligns the
virtual scene with the reality. In AR surgical navigation, the performance of image …

Background This study evaluated the use of an augmented reality navigation system that
provides a markerless registration system using stereo vision in oral and maxillofacial …

Computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) systems have become one of the most
important and challenging types of system in clinical orthopedics, as they enable precise …

Cranial base procedures involve manipulation of small, delicate and complex structures in
the fields of otology, rhinology, neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery. Critical nerves and …

The low-cost large-scale fabrication of microlens arrays (MLAs) with precise alignment, great
