Real-time Video-Streaming to Surgical Loupe Mounted Head-Up Display for Navigated Meningioma Resection

Özet

Wearable technology interfaces with normal human movement and function, thereby enabling more efficient and adaptable use. Wedeveloped a wearable display system for use with intra-operative neuronavigation for brain tumor surgery. The Google glass headup display system was adapted to surgical loupes with a video-streaming integrated hardware and software device for display of theStealth S7 navigation screen. Phantom trials of surface ventriculostomy were performed. The device was utilized as an alternativedisplay screen during cranial surgery. Image-guided brain tumor resection was accomplished using Google Glass head-up displayof Stealth S7 navigation images. Visual display consists of navigation video-streaming over a wireless network. The integratedsystem developed for video-streaming permits video data display to the operating surgeon without requiring movement of thehead away from the operative field. Google Glass head-up display can be used for intra-operative neuronavigation in the setting ofintracranial tumor resection.
