SubsidieMeestersFLUAR - A novel solution for fluorescence-guided surgery based on augmented reality
FLUAR project aims to enhance tumor removal accuracy in cancer surgeries by developing AR glasses with integrated NIR sensors for real-time visualization of fluorescent biomarkers.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) uses near-infrared (NIR) sensors to detect and display fluorescent biomarkers indicating the exact location of tumors. However, the current cameras and monitors force surgeons to match the images to the body via subjective comparisons.
Problem Statement
This long, error-prone process reduces accuracy and increases operating times and costs. This is a critical problem in cancer surgery where complete tumor removal is key to preventing recurrence. For example, a yearly incidence of <0.5 million breast cancer patients requires over 2.8 million surgeries.
Solution Overview
FLUAR are novel augmented reality (AR) glasses with integrated high-end NIR sensors and computer vision algorithms. They detect and display the fluorescent biomarkers in the surgeon's direct sight, hence showing the tumor margins on the target.
Project Goals
FLUAR will increase the surgeon's accuracy and reduce tumor removal times. This project aims to finalize and validate FLUAR's technical developments and clinical usability according to end-user requirements.
