- AR Puncture is an augmented reality (AR) needle guide app on smartphones to simulate CT guided interventional radiology procedures (for research purposes and experiments, for free).
- A 3D virtual protractor or a target positioned relative to an entry point for needle puncture using the Bull's eye method can be displayed in 3 ways (Fix On Screen, Tap To Place, or QR Tracking) in 3 steps.
- The protractor can be rotated in 3 directions against the CT plane.
- The target can be placed relative to the entry point by inputting data from the CT images.
- In the Fix On Screen mode, the entry point is always displayed at the center of the screen, which can be adjusted to the real entry point by moving the device. In the Tap To Place mode, it is placed at the tapped position. In the QR Tracking mode, it is placed on the dedicated QR code, which is downloaded and printed in advance (see below).
- “MR Puncture” for HoloLens2 has similar functions to this application.
