Contactless Interface for Navigation in Medical Imaging Systems

Medical informatics in planning the surgeries is rapidly changing lately with new systems and approaches and one of the latest is contactless approach to visualization systems used during the surgeries. This approach is based on contactless together with adopting algorithms from augmented and virtual reality, enabling surgeons in the operating room more freedom in touchless humancomputer interaction in analyzing and visualization of complex medical data.We are proposing the novel contactless plug-in interface for the DICOM viewer platform using a camera controller that tracks hand/finger motions, with no hand contact, touching, or voice navigation. Our proposal flow is oriented to solve several issues we faced during the proof-of-the-concept of previous contactless surgery approach while using the Leap Motion as a tracking camera, both with software and hardware for spatial interaction. In this paper, we will focus on increasing the user experience in 3D- virtual rendered space and proposing the solution that could be used as a benchmark for 3D virtual navigation which integrates high-resolution stereo depth camera with medical imaging systems in order to obtain contactless ‘in the air’ real control of medical imaging systems with surgeon’s hands.
