Abstract

Background: Autologous breast reconstruction yields improved long-term aesthetic results but requires increased resources of practitioners and hospital systems. Innovations in radiographic imaging have been increasingly used to improve the efficiency and success of free flap harvest. Augmented reality affords the opportunity to superimpose relevant imaging on a surgeon’s native field of view, potentially facilitating dissection of anatomically variable structures. To validate the spatial fidelity of augmented reality projections of deep inferior epigastric perforator flap–relevant anatomy, comparisons of three-dimensional (3D) models and their virtual renderings were performed by four independent observers. Measured discrepancies between the real and holographic models were evaluated. Methods: The 3D-printed models of deep inferior epigastric perforator flap–relevant anatomy were fabricated from computed tomographic angiography data from 19 de-identified patients. The corresponding computed tomographic angiography data were similarly formatted for the Microsoft HoloLens to generate corresponding projections. Anatomic points were initially measured on 3D models, after which the corresponding points were measured on the HoloLens projections from two separate vantage points (V1 and V2). Statistical analyses, including generalized linear modeling, were performed to characterize spatial fidelity regarding translation, rotation, and scale of holographic projections. Results: Among all participants, the median translational displacement at corresponding points was 9.0 mm between the real-3D model and V1, 12.1 mm between the 3D model and V2, and 13.5 mm between V1 and V2. Conclusion: Corresponding points, including topography of perforating vessels, for the purposes of breast reconstruction can be identified within millimeters, but there remain multiple independent contributors of error, most notably the participant and location at which the projection is perceived.
