One quarter of women who undergo lumpectomy to treat early-stage breast cancer in the United States undergo repeat surgery due to concerns that residual tumor was left behind. We have developed a supine breast MRI protocol and a system that projects a 3D “hologram” of the MR data onto a patient using the Microsoft HoloLens. The goal is to reduce the number of repeated surgeries by improving surgeons’ ability to determine tumor extent. We are conducting a pilot study in patients with palpable tumors that tests a surgeon’s ability to accurately identify tumor location via mixed-reality visualization during surgical planning.
