| Abstract |
To assess the feasibility of a novel system that uses augmented reality to guide interventional oncology procedures. This study was conducted in accordance to the guidelines of the local institutional review boards. Evaluation of an augmented reality system based upon a tablet, a needle handle and a set of markers was performed in three experimental models. Initially, a male anthropomorphic trunk phantom equipped with five polyvinyl chloride bars (two of 16 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter and four of 45, 30 or 20 cm in length and 2 cm in diameter) was used to study the accuracy of the system without respiratory motion or tissue compression. Next, small metallic targets were placed in a porcine model to evaluate how respiration affects the system accuracy. Finally, the performance of the system on a more complete model, a cadaver with liver metastasis, was tested. In all experimental settings, extremely high targeting accuracy of < 5 mm in all cases was achieved: 2.0 ± 1.5 mm (mean ± standard deviation) for the anthropomorphic model, 3.9 ± 0.4 mm for the porcine model, and 2.5 mm and 2.8 mm for the two metastases in the cadaver model. Augmented reality can assist with needle guidance with great target accuracy for interventional procedures by simultaneously visualising three-dimensional reconstructed anatomical structures, tumour targets and interventional devices on a patient's body, enabling performance of procedures in a simple and confident way. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 April 2022.
All research outputs
#1,729,343
of 23,530,272 outputs
Outputs from European Radiology Experimental
#9
of 213 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,545
of 330,775 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Radiology Experimental
#2
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,530,272 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 213 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,775 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
