Computer Vision and Machine-Learning Techniques for Automatic 3D Virtual Images Overlapping During Augmented Reality Guided Robotic Partial Nephrectomy

CONCLUSION: The first technology allowed a successful anchoring of the 3D model to the kidney, despite minimal manual refinements. The second technology improved kidney automatic detection without relying on indocyanine injection, resulting in better organ boundaries identification during tests. Further studies are needed to confirm this preliminary evidence.PMID:38374643 | PMC:PMC10878218 | DOI:10.1177/15330338241229368
