Microscope-based augmented reality navigation method, apparatus, and recording medium for performing the same

AR navigation technology that aligns intraoperative microscopic images with a 3D brain model

This technology relates to a microscope-based augmented reality navigation method, an apparatus for performing the same, and a recording medium. Specifically, it is an AR navigation technology that aligns intraoperative microscopic images with a 3D brain model.

Conventional technologies could not account for brain deformation over time and faced limitations such as errors caused by matching the skull instead of the brain. This technology addresses these issues by proposing a configuration that includes a rigid registration unit, simulation considerations, and an augmented reality controller.

Accordingly, this technology can improve the accuracy of navigation systems by providing real-time deformation of the brain model and enhancing surgeons' ability to confirm the precise shape of brain tissue during surgery. It has valuable applications in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, software, and electronics sectors.
