Project Objective

The aim of the project is to investigate the possibility of using the enriched reality techniques during liver surgery, allowing to minimize their duration, improve the patient's safety and increase the efficiency in navigation and spatial orientation activities. As a result of the project, the research provided for in the project will allow better use of imaging techniques in cooperation with the surgeon by: using the natural mechanism of human vision (eye observation) without the need to adapt to artificial stereoscopic visualization or the need to change the observation point from the patient to monitors by projecting on the surface of the examined organ its internal structures. This type of approach will allow to increase the efficiency of surgeons and will contribute to minimizing the time of procedures, reducing the number of perioperative and postoperative complications and increasing the surgical effectiveness.
