Towards Performing Ultrasound-Guided Needle Biopsies from within a Head-Mounted Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
Augmented reality is applied to ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the human breast. In a tracked stereoscopic head-mounted display, a physician sees the ultrasound imagery “emanating” from the transducer, properly registered with the patient and the biopsy needle. A physician has successfully used the system to guide a needle into a synthetic tumor within a breast phantom and examine a human patient in preparation for a cyst aspiration.

Augmented reality guidance for needle biopsies: An initial randomized, controlled trial in phantoms
We report the results of a randomized, controlled trial to compare the accuracy of standard ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to biopsies performed using a 3D Augmented Reality (AR) guidance system. A board-certified radiologist conducted 50 core biopsies of breast phantoms, with biopsies randomly assigned to one of the methods in blocks of five biopsies each. The raw ultrasound data from each bi...

A head-mounted display provides continuous real-time imaging within the practitioner's visual field. We evaluated the feasibility of using head-mounted display technology to improve ergonomics in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in a simulated environment. Two anesthesiologists performed an equal number of ultrasound-guided popliteal-sciatic nerve blocks using the head-mounted display on a...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided core-needle biopsy in the diagnosis of head and neck masses: indications, technique, and results.
BACKGROUND Unclear cervicofacial masses are common presentations that often require tissue sampling to guide therapy. While open biopsy is invasive, fine-needle aspiration cytology includes a high rate of nondiagnostic samples. METHODS A retrospective analysis on 181 core-needle biopsies in 88 patients was performed to determine the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsie...
متن کاملFine-needle aspiration biopsy versus ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy: cost-effectiveness as a frontline diagnostic modality for solitary thyroid nodules.
BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (ultrasound-guided FNAB) is considered the diagnostic test of choice when a fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) returns an inconclusive diagnosis because of cytologic ambiguity or paucity of specimen. METHODS Cost-effectiveness analysis utilizing a decision tree was used to model the diagnostic strategies. The decision analysis model...
