Real-Time Integration of Optical Coherence Tomography Thickness Map Overlays for Enhanced Visualization in Epiretinal Membrane Surgery: A Pilot Study by Ferhat Turgut, Keisuke Ueda, Amr Saad, Tahm Spitznagel, Luca von Felten, Takashi Matsumoto, Rui Santos, Marc D. de Smet, Zoltán Zsolt Nagy, Matthias D. Becker, Gábor Márk Somfai

“…(1) Background: The process of epiretinal membrane peeling (MP) requires precise intraoperative visualization to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. This study investigates the integration of preoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images into real-time surgical video feeds, providing a dynamic overlay that enhances the decision-making process during surgery. (2) Methods: Five MP surgeries were analyzed, where preoperative OCT images were first manually aligned with the initial frame of the surgical video by selecting five pairs of corresponding points. …”
