Overview:

I have designed and developed a MR system to guide needle insertion intra-operatively during acupuncture therapy for both skilled and unskilled practitioners. Imaging from 3D-Ultrasound was visualized in-situ using Hololens2 HMD. This work was accepted to IEEEVR-2025 as a conference paper (co-first).

Why Important?

It’s challenging for unskilled practitioners to insert acupuncture needles accurately based on experience and feeling. This system can help them and improve accuracy significantly. A novel 3D-UI was designed for ultra-thin needle insertion guidance.
