ArXi:2603.25555v1 Announce Type: new Purpose: The integration of multimodal imaging into operating rooms paves the way for comprehensive surgical scene understanding. In ophthalmic surgery, by now, two complementary imaging modalities are available: operating microscope (OPMI) imaging and real-time intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). This first work toward temporal OPMI and iOCT feature fusion nstrates the potential of multimodal image processing for multi-head prediction through the example of precise instrument tracking in vitreoretinal surgery.
