MIXED REALITY NAVIGATION OPERATING METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM FOR ASSISTING SHOULDER PROSTHESIS INSTALLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331318 titled 'MIXED REALITY NAVIGATION OPERATING METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM FOR ASSISTING SHOULDER PROSTHESIS INSTALLATION
The method described in the patent application involves using a mixed reality (MR) device worn by the user to perform an operation on a body part of a patient. The MR device displays a visual representation of an operating scene that includes a virtual anatomical feature representing an actual anatomical feature of the patient. The position and orientation of the visual representation are adjusted to be superposed with the anatomical feature of the patient, and the visual representation is continuously adjusted to remain superposed as the MR device moves relative to the patient.
- The method utilizes a mixed reality (MR) device to display a visual representation of an operating scene.
- The visual representation includes a virtual anatomical feature representing the actual anatomical feature of the patient.
- The position and orientation of the visual representation are adjusted to be superposed with the patient's anatomical feature.
- The visual representation remains superposed with the patient's anatomical feature as the MR device moves relative to the patient.
- This technology allows for precise and accurate visualization during medical procedures.
Potential Applications:
- Surgical procedures
- Medical training and education
- Telemedicine and remote consultations
Problems Solved:
- Improves accuracy and precision during medical procedures
- Enhances visualization for medical professionals
- Facilitates remote medical consultations
Benefits:
- Increased efficiency in surgical procedures
- Enhanced training opportunities for medical students
- Improved patient outcomes through accurate visualization

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of mixed reality devices improve surgical outcomes? 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in medical settings?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research focuses on optimizing the use of mixed reality devices in various medical specialties, such as orthopedics and neurosurgery. Researchers are exploring new applications and improvements to enhance patient care and medical training.
Original Abstract Submitted
the method of performing an operation on a body part of a patient uses a mixed reality (mr) device worn by the user. a visual representation of an operating scene includes a virtual anatomical feature representing an actual anatomical feature of the patient. a position and/or orientation of the visual representation relative to the anatomical feature of the patient is first adjusted to be superposed with the anatomical feature of the patient. the visual representation is displayed by the mr device superposed with the anatomical feature of the patient in a field of vision of the user. the position and/or orientation of the visual representation is repeatedly or continuously adjusted, so that, when the mr device moves relative to the anatomical feature of the patient, the visual representation remains superposed with the anatomical feature of the patient.
