Surgeons will be able to know where the organs, bones, muscles and nerves are before even making any cut. This will improve accuracy for injecting medicines. In St.Mary’s Hospital London and Imperial College, doctors are using Hololens to visualise the nerves near the wounds, which was earlier done with hand scanners. (Vávra, 2017)
Using Holo-lens or HMD, the CT or ultrasound details will not just be limited to 2D anymore. 3D structure of the report can be superimposed on the patient’s anatomy using Augmented Reality. This is making treatment much more straightforward when it comes to surgery.
This is majorly used while learning surgeries. Not just the position is displayed; on the other hand, HMD is used to view the patient-specific 3D structures superimposed on Human Body.
The result can be viewed in 3D after wearing the gadgets,which also enables 3D interaction.

The entire process shoots up the accuracy and precision of the surgery. This has helped many hospitals to shorten surgery time and treat more patients in return.
Similarly, ultrasound, CT, Radiology can many other test reports can be now viewed in 3D and now be interacted with, while increasing the efficiency of thetreatment. (der, 2008)
Surgery Simulations
AR can be used by college students to practice surgeries before they can go out in the real world. This increases efficiency by more than 50 percent while performing actual surgeries. Using such technologies can bring down healthcare perfection average age.
The high application has already been observed in Dental and Neurosurgery.The application extends to:
Neurosurgery: In order to shorten down the area of surgery, students are trained via AR models to detect the specific are of the brain and apply the same during surgeries. AR gives the luxury to attempt the surgery multiple times to let the hands-on already existing common brain surgeries.
General Surgery: Soler reconstructed the 3D model of the liver with all the minute details to help students get into the details of the organ.
Orthopaedic Surgery: Although to date,Musco-skeletal models are not often used in clinics, but this holds great potential ahead. The entire virtual patient-specific model can be superimposed on the real body to check the movements.
