摘要:

完全沉浸式虚拟现实(VR)具有改善神经外科手术计划的潜力。例如,它可以提供具有复杂形状的相关解剖结构的3D可视化,例如血管和肿瘤。然而,缺乏专门针对这一领域的研究工具。我们提出了一个基于开源工具和初步评估结果的VR神经外科研究框架。我们展示了这样一个框架的潜力,使用两名患者的临床数据和一个主题的研究数据。作为实际评估的第一步,两位经过认证的高级神经外科医生积极评估了使用盔装显示器的VR可视化的有用性。因此,我们研究中描述的方法和发现为研究和开发旨在改善神经外科规划和培训的多功能和用户友好的VR工具提供了基础。

英文摘要:

Fully immersive virtual reality (VR) has the potential to improve neurosurgical planning. For example, it may offer 3D visualizations of relevant anatomical structures with complex shapes, such as blood vessels and tumors. However, there is a lack of research tools specifically tailored for this area. We present a research framework for VR neurosurgery based on open-source tools and preliminary evaluation results. We showcase the potential of such a framework using clinical data of two patients and research data of one subject. As a first step toward practical evaluations, two certified senior neurosurgeons positively assessed the usefulness of the VR visualizations using head-mounted displays. The methods and findings described in our study thus provide a foundation for research and development aiming at versatile and user-friendly VR tools for improving neurosurgical planning and training.
