TY - JOUR AB - 1 School of Control Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, China; 2Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, Shanghai, China Aims: The laparoscopy reduces the damage to body and shortens the postoperative recovery period, so it is becoming the standard surgical operation. However, the indirect method of observing and manipulating in laparoscopy impairs the surgeon’s eye-hand coordination, which makes it difficult to carry out a laparoscopic operation successfully. Then we initiate the optical see-through technique in order to find solutions for these difficulties of laparoscopy. Methods: The floating display mechanism of optical see-through technique is proposed and deeply researched to overcome the mislocation of camera picture and the misorientation of instrument movements. The line-of-sight of endoscope is transformed and coincides with the surgeon’s natural line-of-sight. The pictures of endoscope are projected onto the semi-transparent mirror between the surgeon’s eyes and the abdomen, and the pre-operative information from X-ray, ultrasound or MRI images are also mapped onto the endoscope camera pictures, which gives the surgeon the visual sense of seeing through the skin. An experimental optical see-through system is constructed. Results: Extensive experiments are conducted on phantoms to verify the accuracy and stability of the constructed system. Experimental results show that the optical TI - Abstracts of the Medical Engineering and Bioinformatics 2015 (MEB 2015), China, 7 June 2015 JF - Basic and Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology DO - 10.1111/bcpt.12422 DA - 2015-07-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/abstracts-of-the-medical-engineering-and-bioinformatics-2015-meb-2015-UOFW9o3WD9 SP - 1 EP - 17 VL - 117 IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
