Localization of sentinel lymph nodes using augmented-reality system: a cadaveric feasibility study
Overview:
I have designed an AR system using Hololens 2 to help medical trainees accurately locate the location of sentinel lympth nodes in neck using PET/MRI data. Highly accurate results were obtained from 5 cadaver studies. This work was published in European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (co-first).
Why Important?
Using a probe to detect radioactive signals is confusing and not easy to use. Besides, surgeons have to constantly rotate their head to read the signal intro-opratively. This augmented reality approach is convinient, user-friendly, and more accurate.
Skills:
Cadaver Handeling (lots of blood/liquid), UWP, Unity 3D, Data Analysis, Research Coordination.
