This case highlights the feasibility and clinical utility of deploying AR-guided interventions in outpatient procedure rooms, supporting broader adoption of AR technologies in settings beyond the operating room or angiography suite.

MediView Announces Launch of Multicenter Study Validating XR90 Surgical Navigation for Soft Tissue Biopsy

Interventional radiology procedures typically utilize multiple imaging modalities for navigation in real time, and augmented reality (AR) has emerging potential to improve this. This case is a first in human novel single session workflow that incorporated an AR-headset for navigational guidance during an intercostal cryoneurolysis procedure.

This review examines the potential of augmented reality (AR) in enhancing surgical navigation for percutaneous tumor ablation, discussing current advanced needle guidance systems, their benefits, adoption challenges, and future developments.

Innovations to ultrasound equipment systems have continued at a steady pace and in many ways have improved imaging quality but also required sonographers and vascular technologists to adapt to changes in workflow. Although a relatively “young” diagnostic imaging technique, sonography has been through a parade of innovative upgrades, to the ultrasound equipment system, over the last 76 years.

This review identifies current applications of AR/VR in IR, with a focus on studies that assess the clinical impact of AR/VR. We outline the relevant technology and assess current limitations and future directions in this space.

Targeting accuracy determines outcomes for percutaneous needle interventions. Augmented reality (AR) in IR may improve procedural guidance and facilitate access to complex locations. This study aimed to evaluate percutaneous needle placement accuracy using a goggle-based AR system compared to an ultrasound (US)-based fusion navigation system.

This report presents the first feasibility evaluation of 3-dimensional (3D) holographic guidance and navigation for performing percutaneous thermal ablation of solid tumors.

The objective of this study is to review the accuracy of an augmented reality navigational guidance system designed to facilitate improved visualization, guidance, and accuracy during percutaneous needle-based procedures including biopsies and ablations.

An augmented reality platform with a head-mounted display and electromagnetic tracking of instruments was developed for percutaneous procedural guidance…
