Devices and systems secured by biometric factors became a part of our lives because they are convenient, easy to use, reliable, and secure. They use information about unique features of our bodies in order to authenticate a user. It is possible to enhance the security of these devices by adding supplementary modality while keeping the user experience at the same level. Palm vein systems are based on infrared wavelengths used for capturing images of users' veins. It is both convenient for the user, and it is one of the most secure biometric solutions. The proposed system uses IR and UV wavelengths; the images are then processed by a deep convolutional neural network for extraction of biometric features and authentication of users. We tested the system in a verification scenario that consisted of checking if the images collected from the user contained the same biometric features as those in the database. The True Positive Rate (TPR) achieved by the system when the information from the two modalities were combined was 99.5% by the threshold of acceptance set to the Equal Error Rate (EER).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of a combination of 3D mixed-reality visualization of medical images using CarnaLife Holo (MedApp, Poland) system as a supporting tool for innovative, minimally invasive surgery/irreversible electroporation-IRA, Nano-Knife), microwave ablation (MWA)/for advanced gastrointestinal tumors. Eight liver and pancreatic tumor treatments were performed. In all of the patients undergoing laparoscopy or open surgery volume and margin were estimated by preoperative visualization. In all patients, neoplastic lesions were considered unresectable by standard methods.

Mixed reality (MR) holograms can display high-definition images while preserving the user's situational awareness. New MR software can measure 3D objects with gestures and voice commands; however, these measurements have not been validated. We aimed to assess the feasibility and accuracy of using 3D holograms for measuring the length of coronary artery bypass grafts.

Exact biopsy planning and careful execution of needle injection is crucial to ensure successful procedure completion as initially intended while minimizing the risk of complications. This study introduces a solution aimed at helping the operator navigate to precisely position the needle in a previously planned trajectory utilizing a mixed reality headset. A markerless needle tracking method was developed by integrating deep learning and deterministic computer vision techniques. The system is based on superimposing imaging data onto the patient's body in order to directly perceive the anatomy and determine a path from the selected injection site to the target location. Four types of tests were conducted to assess the system's performance: measuring the accuracy of needle pose estimation, determining the distance between injection sites and designated targets, evaluating the efficiency of material collection, and comparing procedure time and number of punctures required with and without the system. These tests, involving both phantoms and physician participation in the latter two, demonstrated the accuracy and usability of the proposed solution. The results showcased a significant improvement, with a reduction in number of punctures needed to reach the target location. The test was successfully completed on the first attempt in 70% of cases, as opposed to only 20% without the system. Additionally, there was a 53% reduction in procedure time, validating the effectiveness of the system.

The DECODE-3DViz pipeline represents a major advancement in the web-based visualization of large-scale medical imaging data, particularly for peripheral artery computed tomography images. This research addresses the critical challenges of rendering high-resolution volumetric datasets via WebGL technology. By integrating progressive chunk streaming and level of detail (LOD) algorithms, DECODE-3DViz optimizes the rendering process for real-time interaction and high-fidelity visualization. The system efficiently manages WebGL texture size constraints and browser memory limitations, ensuring smooth performance even with extensive datasets. A comparative evaluation against state-of-the-art visualization tools demonstrates DECODE-3DViz's superior performance, achieving up to a 98% reduction in rendering time compared with that of competitors and maintaining a high frame rate of up to 144 FPS. Furthermore, the system exhibits exceptional GPU memory efficiency, utilizing as little as 2.6 MB on desktops, which is significantly less than the over 100 MB required by other tools. User feedback, collected through a comprehensive questionnaire, revealed high satisfaction with the tool's performance, particularly in areas such as structure definition and diagnostic capability, with an average score of 4.3 out of 5. These enhancements enable detailed and accurate visualizations of the peripheral vasculature, improving diagnostic accuracy and supporting better clinical outcomes. The DECODE-3DViz tool is open source and can be accessed at https://github.com/mohammed-abo-arab/3D_WebGL_VolumeRendering.git .
