Abstrakt: Purpose: Emerging holographic headsets can be used to register patient-specific virtual models obtained from medical scans with the patient's body. Maximising accuracy of the virtual models' inclination angle and position (ideally, ≤ 2° and ≤ 2 mm, respectively, as in currently approved navigation systems) is vital for this application to be useful. This study investigated the accuracy with which a holographic headset registers virtual models with real-world features based on the position and size of image markers.
Methods: HoloLens ® and the image-pattern-recognition tool Vuforia Engine™ were used to overlay a 5-cm-radius virtual hexagon on a monitor's surface in a predefined position. The headset's camera detection of an image marker (displayed on the monitor) triggered the rendering of the virtual hexagon on the headset's lenses. 4 × 4, 8 × 8 and 12 × 12 cm image markers displayed at nine different positions were used. In total, the position and dimensions of 114 virtual hexagons were measured on photographs captured by the headset's camera.
Results: Some image marker positions and the smallest image marker (4 × 4 cm) led to larger errors in the perceived dimensions of the virtual models than other image marker positions and larger markers (8 × 8 and 12 × 12 cm). ≤ 2° and ≤ 2 mm errors were found in 70.7% and 76% of cases, respectively.
Conclusion: Errors obtained in a non-negligible percentage of cases are not acceptable for certain surgical tasks (e.g. the identification of correct trajectories of surgical instruments). Achieving sufficient accuracy with image marker sizes that meet surgical needs and regardless of image marker position remains a challenge.
