using 3-D ultrasound images and augmented reality visualization. IEEE Trans Med
Imaging. 1998
It has been demonstrated that AR visualisation works well with both clinical and phantom data in the
realm of breast cancer. With the aid of this cutting-edge technique, 3D tumour models may be
superimposed over real-time video pictures of the breast, giving the surgeon the ability to see the tumor's
precise location in three dimensions as if it were visible through the breast skin. According to the author,
surgical AR increased breast conservation and reduced the chance of relapse by allowing the surgeon to
target surgical resection in a more precise and objective manner. To determine the validity and reliability
of AR in surgical oncology, more study is required.

Using augmented reality to treat phobias. PLoS One, 12(7), e0180872.
The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial in which they compared the outcomes of traditional
exposure therapy with an AR-based exposure therapy on a group of 36 participants with a specific phobia.
The results of the study showed that both traditional exposure therapy and AR-based exposure therapy
were effective in reducing phobic symptoms, but AR-based exposure therapy was found to be more
effective in reducing avoidance behavior. Furthermore, participants who underwent the AR-based
exposure therapy reported higher levels of satisfaction with the treatment compared to those who
underwent the traditional exposure therapy. These findings suggest that AR-based exposure therapy can
be a promising treatment option for phobias and that it has the potential to improve treatment outcomes
and patient satisfaction

34. Tele-mentoring using augmented reality technologyin healthcare (Dung Trung Bui,
TonyBarnett, Ha HoangCentre for Rural Health, School of Health Sciences, College
of Health and Medicine, Universityof Tasmania)
In order to determine how tele-mentoring systems that leverage AR technology are being used in
healthcare settings, the author conducted a systematic literature study. The concept-centric technique was
used to analyze 25 investigations, including both randomized controlled trials and non-randomized trials.
The AR telementoring system has been demonstrated to improve a number of outcomes in terms of task
performance and system performance, including a decrease in skill errors and focus shifts, an increase in
task completion speed and accuracy, as well as favorable user feedback. Lack of data on how AR tele-
mentoring systems affect patient outcomes and the retention of professional skills suggests that more
research is necessary.
The purpose of these inventions, according to their creators, is to drastically alter the healthcare
industry and lessen its current complexity. The author of this study has offered a succinct analysis
of a number of AR-based healthcare services and applications. The current development
strategies for the current healthcare application architecture, as well as the methods for processing
and obtaining health data, have been laid out. The paper attempted, in part, to encourage ongoing
development by drawing attention to a number of unresolved problems including competing
security demands and upcoming difficulties.
Future research on AR-based healthcare applications and services may benefit in a number of
ways from the discussion of standardization, data accessibility, service quality, and data privacy
that was conducted in this paper. The significance of augmented reality-based healthcare
applications was also highlighted in this paper..
