... It is the most malignant and harmful tumor of the head and neck, accounting for about 50% of the incidence of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [2]. Due to the rich blood flow and complex anatomical structure of oral and maxillofacial region, OSCC surgery often cannot completely remove the tumor [3]. At the same time, OSCC is prone to lymph node metastasis and postoperative recurrence, so its prognosis is poor [4]. ...

Objective: N7-methylguanosine modification-related lncRNAs (m7G-related lncRNAs) are involved in progression of many diseases. This study was aimed at revealing the risk correlation between N7-methylguanosine modification-related lncRNAs and survival prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: In the present study, coexpression network analysis and univariate Cox analysis were used to obtained 31 m7G-related mRNAs and 399 m7G-related lncRNAs. And the prognostic risk score model of OSCC patients was evaluated and optimized through cross-validation. Results: Through the coexpression analysis and risk assessment analysis of m7G-related prognostic mRNAs and lncRNAs, it was found that six m7G-related prognostic lncRNAs (AC005332.6, AC010894.1, AC068831.5, AL035446.1, AL513550.1, and HHLA3) were high-risk lncRNAs. Three m7G-related prognostic lncRNAs (AC007114.1, HEIH, and LINC02541) were protective lncRNAs. Then, survival curves were drawn by comparing the survival differences between patients with high and low expression of each m7G-related prognostic lncRNA in the prognostic risk score model. Further, risk curves, scatter plots, and heat maps were drawn by comparing the survival differences between high-risk and low-risk OSCC patients in the prognostic model. Finally, forest maps and the ROC curve were generated to verify the predictive power of the prognostic risk score model. Our results will help to find early and accurate prognostic risk markers for OSCC, which could be used for early prediction and early clinical intervention of survival, prognosis, and disease risk of OSCC patients in the future.

Over time, Augmented Reality (AR) based technology becomes not being properly to implement with oral and maxillofacial surgery to visualise the narrow area spot in jaw surgery as blood vassals and root canals in these types of surgeries. Image registration is considered the major limitation of using the AR in these types of surgeries and reduces the accuracy of visualising the narrow areas. In this research, we propose a Correntropy based scale ICP algorithm as a solution to improve the image registration during jaw surgery. Correntropy is considered here to minimise the error metric of the ICP algorithm instead of the Euclidean distance measurement compared to the state-of-the-art solution. This led to decrease the registration error, increase the video accuracy and reduce the processing time simultaneously. The proposed system consists of Enhanced Tracking Learning Detection (TLD), which is used as an occlusion removal featured algorithm in the intra-operative stage of the AR-based jaw surgery system. In this research, a Modified Correntropy-based enhanced ICP (MCbeICP) algorithm is proposed for the system’s pose-refinement phase. Moreover, this proposed algorithm (MCbeICP) has a new function to process the point set registration with great noises and outliers. It eliminates the poor performance of the ICP algorithm of the noisy point set. Furthermore, the ICP algorithm considers the scale factor to register the point with different scales of the real-time video and the sample models. Additionally, this method improves the result of the pose refinement stage in terms of registration accuracy and processing time. By this method, the pose refinement stage gives an improved result in terms of registration accuracy and processing time. The samples, which were taken from the upper (maxillary) and the lower (mandible) jaw bone show that the proposed algorithm provides a significant accuracy improvement in alignment to 0.21- 0.29 mm from 0.23 to 0.35 mm and an increment in processing time from 8 to 12 frames per second (fs/s) to 10-14 fs/s compared to the result provided by state of the art. The proposed augmented reality (AR) system is focused on the overlay accuracy and processing time. Finally, this study addressed the limitation of Image registration with AR using modified Correntropy-based enhanced ICP algorithm to implement oral and maxillofacial surgery successfully.

In modern radiotherapy, error reduction in the patients' daily setup error is important for achieving accuracy. In our study, we proposed a new approach for the development of an assist system for the radiotherapy position setup by using augmented reality (AR). We aimed to improve the accuracy of the position setup of patients undergoing radiotherapy and to evaluate the error of the position setup of patients who were diagnosed with head and neck cancer, and that of patients diagnosed with chest and abdomen cancer. We acquired the patient's simulation CT data for the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the external surface and organs. The AR tracking software detected the calibration module and loaded the 3D virtual model. The calibration module was aligned with the Linac isocenter by using room lasers. And then aligned the virtual cube with the calibration module to complete the calibration of the 3D virtual model and Linac isocenter. Then, the patient position setup was carried out, and point cloud registration was performed between the patient and the 3D virtual model, such the patient's posture was consistent with the 3D virtual model. Twenty patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer and 20 patients diagnosed with chest and abdomen cancer in the supine position setup were analyzed for the residual errors of the conventional laser and AR-guided position setup. Results show that for patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer, the difference between the two positioning methods was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). For patients diagnosed with chest and abdomen cancer, the residual errors of the two positioning methods in the superior and inferior direction and anterior and posterior direction were statistically significant (t = -5.80, -4.98, P < 0.05). The residual errors in the three rotation directions were statistically significant (t = -2.29 to -3.22, P < 0.05). The experimental results showed that the AR technology can effectively assist in the position setup of patients undergoing radiotherapy, significantly reduce the position setup errors in patients diagnosed with chest and abdomen cancer, and improve the accuracy of radiotherapy.
... The third component is a display system that allows virtual and 3D objects to be viewed in the real world. Finally, a tracking system is required to complete the registration phase, which involves a constant tracking of the user during the procedure to allow for real-time visualization [10], [11]. Marker-free registration, such as laser skin surface scanning, and markerbased registration, such as anatomical landmarks, bone screws, and skin adhesive markers, are the two primary forms of registration techniques [12], [13]. ...

This literature review aims to discuss augmented reality systems and provide an update on the most recent technological developments and applications in the dental field. The studies that met the inclusion criteria in the last 20 years, from 2000 to 5 May 2020, in the PubMed database were included. The search resulted in n=72 articles, in which n=40 included and n=32 excluded. AR systems are still being tested as there are still some limitations that limit the adoption of this technology in the dental sector. Several studies have resulted in a device appropriate for clinical use, yet no regular clinical application was recorded.
... This allows the surgeons to focus their attention on the patient and the surgical site alone, and they do not have to mentally map information between two different sites. Several experimental AR systems to support complex interventions have been experimentally trailed, in example for tumor resection [41][42][43][44], pedicle screw placement [45][46][47] (as shown exemplary in Fig. 5.5E), and surgical drilling [48,49]. Even though IGS is the most common procedure supported by medical AR, it is also the most challenging. ...

Emerging holographic headsets can be used to register patient-specific virtual models obtained from medical scans with the patient’s body. Maximising accuracy of the virtual models’ inclination angle and position (ideally, ≤ 2° and ≤ 2 mm, respectively, as in currently approved navigation systems) is vital for this application to be useful. This study investigated the accuracy with which a holographic headset registers virtual models with real-world features based on the position and size of image markers. HoloLens® and the image-pattern-recognition tool Vuforia Engine™ were used to overlay a 5-cm-radius virtual hexagon on a monitor’s surface in a predefined position. The headset’s camera detection of an image marker (displayed on the monitor) triggered the rendering of the virtual hexagon on the headset’s lenses. 4 × 4, 8 × 8 and 12 × 12 cm image markers displayed at nine different positions were used. In total, the position and dimensions of 114 virtual hexagons were measured on photographs captured by the headset’s camera. Some image marker positions and the smallest image marker (4 × 4 cm) led to larger errors in the perceived dimen-sions of the virtual models than other image marker positions and larger markers (8 × 8 and 12 × 12 cm). ≤ 2° and ≤ 2 mm errors were found in 70.7% and 76% of cases, respectively. Errors obtained in a non-negligible percentage of cases are not acceptable for certain surgical tasks (e.g. the identification of correct trajectories of surgical instruments). Achieving sufficient accuracy with image marker sizes that meet surgical needs and regardless of image marker position remains a challenge.

... Augmented reality (AR) technology can be used to generate 3-dimensional (3D) images from preoperative imaging data and superimpose the reconstructed 3D images on the surgical field during the intraoperative period [3]. The superimposition of the "transparent" images of anatomical structures on the surgical field assists the surgeon in determining the location of the corresponding unseen structures lying beneath the visible surfaces of organs and dissected tissues view by the surgeon [4]. The use of AR technology to assist in the identification of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) in the artery-first approach for PD has been previously reported [5]. ...

Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with superior mesenteric vein (SMV) reconstruction are often required to achieve complete (R0) resection for pancreatic head cancer (PHC) with tumor invasion of the SMV. Augmented reality (AR) technology can be used to assist in determining the extent of SMV involvement by superimposing virtual 3-dimensional (3D) images of the pancreas and regional vasculature on the surgical field. Materials and methods: Three patients with PHC and tumor invasion of the SMV underwent AR-assisted PD with SMV resection and reconstruction following preoperative computed tomography scanning. Preoperative imaging data were used to reconstruct 3D images of anatomical structures, including the tumor, portal vein (PV), SMV, and splenic vein (SV). Using AR software installed on a smart phone, the reconstructed 3D images were superimposed on the surgical field as viewed in a smart phone display to provide intermittent navigational assistance to the surgeon in identifying the boundaries of PHC tumor invasion for resection of the vessels involved. Result: All patients successfully completed the operation. Intraoperative AR applications displayed virtual images of the pancreas, SMV, bile duct, common hepatic artery (CHA), and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Two patients required end-to-end anastomosis for reconstruction of the SMV. One patient required allogenic vascular bypass to reconstruct the SMV-PV juncture with concomitant reconstruction of the SV-SMV confluence by end-to-side anastomosis of the SV and bypass vessel. Postoperative pathology confirmed R0 resections for all patients. Conclusion: AR navigation technology based on preoperative CT image data can assist surgeons performing PD with SMV resection and reconstruction.
