case_images: CT scan confirmed dilated ventricles [Figure 1].
case_images: Workflow of the augmented reality (AR) technology platform. The patient's anatomy is first segmented and converted into a 3D model. The model is loaded onto the Microsoft Hololens 2 (HL2) AR headset. While wearing the headset, the surgeon scans the patient's head. Registration algorithms are processed on the headset, and the 3D model can be visualized aligned/overlaid with the patient's head.

case_images: All segmented structures were merged and converted into a 3D digital model [Figure 2]. A clinical workflow of the AR system is described in [Figure 2].
case_images: Surgeon's view through the augmented reality headset displaying (a) 3D reconstruction of patient's skull overlaid on patient's head and (b) 3D reconstruction of patient's ventricle along with insertion trajectory overlaid on patient's head.

case_images: After the patient was placed in the operative position, the patient-specific 3D model was registered onto the head through the AR headset [Figure 3]. The physician was able to use a holographic trajectory tool to visualize various insertion locations and trajectory approaches for the shunt placement [Figure 3].
