An Augmented Reality (AR) system based on the holographic projection of the relevant anatomic structures is proposed for auxiliary visualization during surgeries. The current two-dimensional visualization systems require the surgeons to mentally extract the associated three-dimensional information during the interventions, which entails risks and complications. This work shows an AR holographic projection system for real-time three-dimensional representation of the relevant surgical information, thus overcoming this problem. As an initial proof of concept, the system is experimentally assessed as potential surgery training tool.Clinical Relevance- This work explores the potential of AR holographic projection systems for intraoperative assistance to the surgical team, starting from its possible use as surgery training and planning tool.
