Abstract：Objective The feasibility and reliability of the low-cost atugmented reality (AR) in minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were discussed.Methods A total of 17 ICH patients treated with minimally invasive endoscopic surgery were recruited.After brain computed tomography (CT) scan,the digital imaging and communications in medicine data (DICOM) were loaded into free software 3D-slicer.The hematomas and the scalps were recomtructed by the software respectively before the screemhots with markers on the virtual scalp were transmitted to an iPhone5 smart phone.Augmented reality based on an iOS app of camera allowed a projection of the hematoma to be seen on the patients scalp to facilitate selection of the best endoscopy approach.An obturator and transparent sheath was used to estabhsh a working channel,and the surgical evacuation of the hematomas was performed with endoscopy.Results The hematomas of 17 ICH patients were punctured successfully with the low-cost augrmented reality technology,and the target locatiom were verified by the endoscopy.Conclusion The application of low-cost augmented reality in ICH can provide the reliable and accurate direction for the minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
