\n\tJavier Pascau is Full Professor from the Department of Bioengineering and Aerospace Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) since 2011. He received his degree on Telecommunication Engineering from Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid in 1999, a Master in Biomedical Technology and Instrumentation in 2005 and his PhD from Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid in 2006. Before joining UC3M he was a research fellow at Laboratorio de Imagen M\u00e9dica (Hospital Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n) in Madrid, where he also supervised the digital radiology migration project.<\/p>\n

His research topics include multimodal image quantification and registration both in clinical and preclinical areas, surgical guidance by combining image studies and tracking systems and machine learning methods for medical image analysis. He has published more than 70 papers in indexed journals, is co-inventor of two patents and has contributed to several proceedings in medical and engineering meetings. As principal investigator he has led several projects from competitive calls in Health Technology Evaluation, Public-Private collaboration, National Research Plan for Societal Challenges, Technological Development and EraPerNet H2020 Consortium. He collaborates with several international research groups in Image Guided Treatments. Details of his research are found here: https:\/\/biig-igt.uc3m.es<\/a>

\r\nUp to date, there has been a lack of software infrastructure to connect 3D Slicer to any augmented reality (AR) device. This work describes a novel connection approach using Microsoft HoloLens 2 and OpenIGTLink, with a demonstration in pedicle screw placement planning. 
\r\nMethods 
\r\nWe developed an AR application in Unity that is wirelessly rendered onto Microsoft HoloLens 2 using Holographic Remoting. Simultaneously, Unity connects to 3D Slicer using the OpenIGTLink communication protocol. Geometrical transform and image messages are transferred between both platforms in real time. Through the AR glasses, a user visualizes a patient\u2019s computed tomography overlaid onto virtual 3D models showing anatomical structures. We technically evaluated the system by measuring message transference latency between the platforms. Its functionality was assessed in pedicle screw placement planning \u2026},
