Feb 06, 2021 The medical 3D imaging data can be used for a variety of 3D technologies ranging from 3D Printing to lately, virtual reality and augmented reality. In this issue of “From Academia” , we feature four publications investigating various applications and clinical outcomes of using medical VR/AR for medical simulation. The first article connects 3D printing, AR/VR to the management of kidney and prostate cancer. The second article focuses on diagnostic accuracies in congenital heart disease among conventional visualization, immersive, and non-immersive virtual reality. The winner of this small sample study was immersive virtual reality, especially when the case was complex. However, as we dive deeper into the AR/VR space, the human-computer interaction does not limit to simple visualization. The third article explores two existing haptic VR interfaces, a vibrotactile VR interface, and a kinesthetic VR interface, for medical diagnosis and planning on volumetric medical images. The final publication tackles the VR interface further by creating a prototype with suturing simulation in a VR laparoscopic surgery simulator with haptic force.
“From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications. Subjects include but not limited to healthcare 3D printing, 3D bioprinting, and related emerging technologies.
