HEART
"Heart surgery Enhanced by Augmented Reality Techniques"; in Cooperation with Deutsches Herzzentrum, Munich.Minimally invasive or totally endoscopic cardiac surgery is an operation technique in which physicians operate through small incision points at the operating region, either using endoscopic tools or master-slave robot systems. In either case, the field of view of the physician is quite limited to a small area around the operating region. To get more general overview, preoprative imaging and planning data can be used through Augmented Reality techniques.
