Abstract
In order to reduce the possibility of accidental injury to neurovascular and important tissues, this research conduct preoperative design and intraoperative guidance for fibrous dysplasia through augmented reality technology. Five patients with fibrous dysplasia were selected for three-dimensional (3D) Computed Tomography (CT) scan and 3D model was reconstructed. Considering the navigation plan was comprehensively, the guide plate (composed of card groove, connector, and fixator) was designed and 3D printed. Threedimensional software was used to unify the coordinates of the surgical plan and the guide plate, and the relative position was fixed. Then, the virtual and real overlapping registration is completed on the physical model. Pattern recognition technology is used to identify pre-defined markers in the video images before operation. Finally, the registration results are superimposed into the surgical field of vision to guide and remind surgeons. In this study, the navigation based on augmented reality technology was used in the surgical treatment of 5 cases patients with fibrous dysplasia. The 3D navigation information was displayed in real time in the operative field. The operation was accurate and the postoperative effect was good. This paper introduces an effective visual navigation surgical method in treatment with fibrous dysplasia. The augmented- reality based navigation system achieves individualized precise treatment by displaying 3D navigation directly in the surgical field. It is an effective auxiliary method for future research on craniofacial surgery.
