When preparing young medical students for clinical activity, it is indispensable to acquaint them with anatomical section images which enable them to use the clinical application of imaging methods. A new Augmented Reality Magic Mirror (AR MM) system, which provides the advantage of a novel, interactive learning tool in addition to a regular dissection course, was therefore tested and evaluated by...
Left-right confusion occurs across the entire population and refers to an impeded ability to distinguish between left and right. In medicine this phenomenon is particularly relevant as left and right are always defined with respect to the patient's point of view, i.e. the doctor's right is the patient's left. Traditional anatomy learning resources such as illustrations in textbooks naturally consider...
Screen-based Augmented Reality (AR) systems can be built as a window into the real world as often done in mobile AR applications or using the Magic Mirror metaphor, where users can see themselves with augmented graphics on a large display. The term Magic Mirror implies that the display shows the users enantiomorph, i.e. the mirror image, such that the system mimics a real-world physical mirror. However,...
Understanding the anatomy of the human body is vital for everyone working in the medical domain. Augmented reality (AR) systems for anatomy teaching, which display virtual information directly on top of a users' body, have proven to facilitate mental mapping compared to traditional teaching paradigms. In this paper, we explore the potential of diminished reality (DR) in the context of anatomy education...
Medical robotic ultrasound offers potential to assist interventions, ease long-term monitoring and reduce operator dependency. Various techniques for remote control of ultrasound probes through telemanipulation systems have been presented in the past, however not exploiting the potential of fully autonomous acquisitions directly performed by robotic systems. In this paper, a trajectory planning algorithm...
Image-guided medical interventions more frequently rely on Augmented Reality (AR) visualization to enable surgical navigation. Current systems use 2-D monitors to present the view from external cameras, which does not provide an ideal perception of the 3-D position of the region of interest. Despite this problem, most research targets the direct overlay of diagnostic imaging data, and only few studies...
