Abstract
Recently, three-dimensional(3D)holograms from mixed-reality(MR)devices have become available in the medical field. 3D holographic images can provide immersive and intuitive information that has been reported to be very useful for preoperative simulations. Compared with conventional 3D images on a two-dimensional(2D)monitor, 3D holograms offer a higher level of realism, allowing observation of the images anytime and anywhere if the MR device is operational. Even during surgery, surgeons can check realistic 3D holograms in front of them, above the surgical field, without having to turn their heads toward a 2D monitor on the wall. 3D holograms can also be used for neuronavigation if the hologram is tracked to the patient's real head. This method can be defined as 3D augmented reality(AR)navigation, which shows a hologram of a target, such as a tumor or aneurysm, inside the head and brain. In the future, interventions using these techniques with 3D holograms from MR devices are expected to evolve and develop new types of treatments for endoscopic surgery or fluoroscopy-guided endovascular surgery.
