A group of researchers has developed and tested an augmented reality system that could lead to more precise interventional cancer treatments.
An article describing the system has been published in the European Radiology Experimental journal.
Dr Marco Solbiati and his colleagues conducted the research in Italy at a technology company called R.A.W. They used the augmented reality during an operation that required a needle to accurately target a lesion on the liver. They found that augmented reality was able to assist needle guidance with very high accuracy.
