Visual marker-based augmented reality for intraoperative ultrasound in minimally invasive surgery
Flag AR represents the first clinical application of purely visual marker-based ultrasound overlay technology in minimally invasive surgery. By enabling sustained visual focus on a single display, this system improves surgeon workflow efficiency during IOUS procedures without compromising task performance, potentially enhancing spatial visualization and reducing cognitive workload in complex surgical procedures.
