Abstract
Image guidance can result in improved surgical outcomes, shorter operating times as well as a reduced
likelihood of requiring a follow-up surgery for various medical interventions. Many intraoperative imaging
systems utilize 2D computer monitors, making it difficult to correlate the surgical landscape with the
displayed functional information as well as potentially distracting the surgeon. To address this issue, a
miniature, wearable Near Infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging system entitled Stereoscopic Optical Imaging
Goggle is developed. The system is made up of two imaging sensors affixed to a wearable stereoscopic
display, providing the surgeon with functional data in 3 dimensions with depth perception. We have
characterized the system’s optical properties and fluorescent detection limits. In addition, we have
demonstrated the efficacy of the system during surgical studies in chicken. We have found that the system
can resolve fluorescent structures down to 0.25mm. The system was successfully guided the excision of
fluorescent tissue from a chicken. To the best of our knowledge, the Stereoscopic Optical Imaging Goggle
is the first wearable wide-field fluorescence imaging system that offers stereoscopic imaging capability and
3D depth perception.
