Sumario: | Today, image-guided systems play a significant role in improving the outcome of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. They provide crucial anatomical information during the procedure to decrease the size and the extent of the approach, to reduce intraoperative complications, and to increase accuracy, repeatability, and safety. Image-to-patient registration is the first step in image-guided procedures. It establishes a correspondence between the patient’s preoperative imaging and the intraoperative data. When it comes to the head-and-neck region, the presence of many sensitive structures such as the central nervous system or the neurosensory organs requires a millimetric precision. This review allows evaluating the characteristics and the performances of different registration methods in the head-and-neck region used in the operation room from the perspectives of accuracy, invasiveness, and processing times. Our work led to the conclusion that invasive marker-based methods are still considered as the gold standard of image-to-patient registration. The surface-based methods are recommended for faster procedures and applied on the surface tissues especially around the eyes. In the near future, computer vision technology is expected to enhance these systems by reducing human errors and cognitive load in the operating room. |
