Abstract

The augmented reality(AR) technology enables to acquire various image information at the same time by combining virtual image information with the user's viewpoint. These AR technologies have been used to visualize patients' organs and tissues during surgery and diagnosis in the fields of Image-Guide Operation, Surgical Training, and Image Diagnosis by medical convergence, and provides the most effective surgical methods. In this paper, we study the technical features and application methods of each element technology for medical fusion of AR technology. In the AR technology for medical convergence, display, marker recognition and image synthesis interface technology is essential for efficient medical image. Such AR technology is considered to be a way to drastically improve current medical technology in the fields of image guide surgery, surgical education, and imaging diagnosis.

증강현실 기술은 사용자의 시각에 가상의 영상 정보를 결합하여 다양한 영상 정보를 동시에 취득할 수 있게 한다. 이러한 증강현실 기술은 최근 의료융합을 통해 이미지 가이드 수술(Image-Guide Operation), 수술 교육 훈련, 영상 진단 분야에서 수술 및 진단 시 환자의 장기나 조직들을 구분하여 가시화하고 가장 효과적인 수술 방법을 제시 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문을 통해 증강현실 기술의 의료 융합을 위한 각 요소 기술의 기술적 특징과 적용 방안 등을 고찰하고자 하였다. 의료융합을 위한 증강현실 기술에서는 효율적인 의료 영상의 구현을 위해 디스플레이, 마커인식 그리고 영상합성 인터페이스 기술의 유기적인 구동이 필수적이다. 이러한 증강현실 기술은 향후, 이미지 가이드 수술, 수술 교육 및 영상 진단 등의 분야에서 현재의 의료 기술을 획기적으로 증진시킬 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있으리라 여겨진다.
