Smart Goggles Augmented Reality CT-US Fusion Compared to Conventional Fusion Navigation for Percutaneous Needle Insertion

National Library of Medicine

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.
