Abstract:
This poster presents a virtual reality (VR) application based on three-dimensional (3-D) surface reconstruction CT imaging for surgical planning. We propose an interactive tool to improve observation before surgery and increase diagnosis efficiency through virtual reality. This tool allows to obtain a more accurate representation comparing with current technology, such as CT or MRI vision. The aim of the study is to describe the method that can build a three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution model using DICO images from CT/MRI and export them to create a virtual environment that improves medical knowledge. Surgical preparation with virtual reality may represent a more cost-effective and efficient alternative. Virtual reality training improves operating performance. The use of VR surgical simulation to train skills and reduce error risk in the OR has never been demonstrated in several studies. User studies show that the system is both effective and easy to use.
