摘要
背景:针灸能有效缓解症状,但由于穴位众多,准确下针和训练十分困难:为了应对这些挑战,本研究旨在开发一种增强现实(AR)针灸导航系统,以提高穴位定位的准确性和直观性:方法:拟议的系统采用了六点注册和定位技术,使 AR 导航模型能够适应每位患者的具体特征:在测试中,虚拟穴位与实际穴位之间的差异从 0.6 毫米到 3.9 毫米不等,在针灸可接受的误差范围内:结论:这一基于 AR 的系统有望提高穴位定位的精确度,从而改善治疗效果。
Acupuncture navigation method integrated with augmented reality.
Background: Acupuncture and moxibustion are effective in alleviating symptoms, but the large number of acupoints can make accurate needle placement and training difficult.
Objective: To address these challenges, this study aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) acupuncture navigation system designed to improve the accuracy and intuitiveness of acupoint localization.
Methods: The proposed system employs a six-point registration and positioning technique, enabling the AR navigation model to adapt to the specific characteristics of each patient.
Results: In testing, discrepancies between virtual and actual acupuncture points ranged from 0.6 mm to 3.9 mm, which is within the acceptable tolerance range for acupuncture.
Conclusion: This AR-based system shows promise in enhancing the precision of acupuncture point localization, potentially leading to improved treatment outcomes.
