Object: An augmented reality system has been developed for image-guided neurosurgery to project images with regions of interest onto the patient's head, skull, or brain surface in real time. The aim of this study was to evaluate system accuracy and to perform the first intraoperative application.
Methods: Images of segmented brain tumors in different localizations and sizes were created in 10 cases and were projected to a head phantom using a video projector.
Article Synopsis
- Neurosurgeons need to accurately locate brain tumors and plan surgeries to remove them safely.
- This study compared traditional methods of planning with new image-guided techniques using 3D models of the brain.
- The results showed that using image-guided techniques helped reduce mistakes and made the surgery planning safer and more precise.

Background: Augmented reality systems combine virtual images with a real environment.
Objective: To design and develop an augmented reality system for image-guided surgery of brain tumors using image projection.
Methods: A virtual image was created in two ways: (1) MRI-based 3D model of the head matched with the segmented lesion of a patient using MRIcro software (version 1.
