  • SYSTEM AND METHOD USING AUGMENTED REALITY WITH SHAPE ALIGNMENT FOR MEDICAL DEVICE PLACEMENT
    Publication number: 20240090950
    Abstract: Methods and techniques for using an augmented reality device for determining an orientation of an instrument for inserting a medical device are provided. One such method includes simulating an insertion point and an orientation of a simulated surgical hardware installation on a diagnostic representation of a bone, and using an augmented reality based electronic device to align an instrument for inserting a surgical hardware installation at a desired orientation through an insertion point of the bone by displaying visual indicia indicating the insertion point and the orientation of the simulated surgical hardware installation. Disclosed herein is also a system and method having a concentric shape alignment system for medical device placement in the body, such as in a bone.
