Popis: PurposeSurgical annotation promotes effective communication between medical personnel during surgical procedures. However, existing approaches to 2D annotations are mostly static with respect to a display. In this work, we propose a method to achieve 3D annotations that anchor rigidly and stably to target structures upon camera movement in a transnasal endoscopic surgery setting.MethodsThis is accomplished through intra-operative endoscope tracking and monocular depth estimation. A virtual endoscopic environment is utilized to train a supervised depth estimation network. An adversarial network transfers the style from the real endoscopic view to a synthetic-like view for input into the depth estimation network, wherein framewise depth can be obtained in real time.Results(1) Accuracy: Framewise depth was predicted from images captured from within a nasal airway phantom and compared with ground truth, achieving a SSIM value of 0.8310 ± 0.0655. (2) Stability: mean absolute error (MAE) between reference and predicted depth of a target point was 1.1330 ± 0.9957 mm.ConclusionBoth the accuracy and stability evaluations demonstrated the feasibility and practicality of our proposed method for achieving 3D annotations.
