Study Protocol for Assessment of the Feasibility of an Intraoperative Localization Technique Using Augmented Reality in Breast‐Conserving Surgery for Non‐Palpable Cancer Lesions: A Feasibility Study
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Localizing non‐palpable cancerous lesions of breast‐conserving surgery is a major challenge. Augmented reality (AR) and 3D imaging are emerging tools for surgical guidance. This study evaluates the feasibility of a noninvasive intraoperative localization technique using AR. Methods This prospective, interventional, single‐center proof‐of‐concept study investigates AR‐assisted localization of non‐palpable breast lesions. Secondary objectives include surgical time assessment, breast phant …
