Original Abstract Submitted
an augmented reality (ar) system and method for obtaining and displaying measurements from a patient during a medical procedure is provided. the system comprises: an ar headset comprising a near eye display for displaying the measurements overlaid in a surgeon's view of the patient's tissue at a position with respect to the patient to which they were collected; at least one sensor for tracking the location of the patient; a memory for storing the measurements and their associated positions; and a processor; wherein the system is configured to perform the following steps during the medical procedure: (a) receiving measurements collected from the patient's tissue, wherein the measurements are collected by a probe being positioned adjacent to various regions of the patient's tissue; (b) tracking, the probe's position whilst the probe is collecting measurements to determine a position at which the measurements are collected; (c) simultaneously to performing steps (a) and (b): tracking, using the at least one sensor, a position of an biological landmark on the patient such that a relationship can be determined between the position of the biological landmark and the position at which the measurements are collected; (d) displaying on the near eye display the measurements at a position, such that the measurements are aligned in the surgeon's view of the patient's tissue at the position with respect to the patient to which they were collected, throughout the medical procedure, by: continuously tracking the position of the biological landmark throughout the medical procedure to obtain its current position; updating the position of the measurements on the display based on the biological landmark's current position.
