Depth-based registration of 3D preoperative models to intraoperative patient anatomy using the HoloLens 2

The results show that the depth sensor on the HoloLens 2 can be used for image-to-patient alignment with 1-2 cm accuracy and within 4 s, indicating that with further improvement in the accuracy, this approach can offer a convenient alternative to other time-consuming marker-based approaches. This work provides a generic marker-less registration framework using the depth sensor of the HoloLens 2, with extensive analysis of the sensor's reconstruction and registration accuracy. It supports advancing the research of marker-less registration in surgical navigation.

Abstract

The results show that the depth sensor on the HoloLens 2 can be used for image-to-patient alignment with 1-2 cm accuracy and within 4 s, indicating that with further improvement in the accuracy, this approach can offer a convenient alternative to other time-consuming marker-based approaches. This work provides a generic marker-less registration framework using the depth sensor of the HoloLens 2, with extensive analysis of the sensor's reconstruction and registration accuracy. It supports advancing the research of marker-less registration in surgical navigation.
