Dr. Joshua Bederson - “Augmented Reality Aids Brain Surgery”
A neurosurgeon in the United States is using augmented reality to overlay scans onto live images during brain surgery. Joshua Bederson, MD, chairman of neurosurgery for Mount Sinai Health System, used Leica Microsystems’ CaptiView tool for the first time to treat a patient with a brain aneurysm, a dilated blood vessel caused by a weakness in the vessel wall. CaptiView overlays images from image-guided surgery (IGS) software, such as brain scans, onto the live feed seen through the microscope. Surgeons would usually view these images on a separate monitor, but with the images as an overlay in the microscope eyepieces, the surgeon can stay focused on the patient.
