Experienced neurosurgeons prefer 3D models for initial radiosurgery planning but rely on 2D methods for final adjustments. Haptic feedback in 3D systems was not found useful for improving control in radiosurgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Radiosurgery planning involves complex spatial considerations.
  • Traditional 2D methods are well-established but may lack intuitive spatial representation.
  • Emerging 3D and haptic technologies offer potential improvements in radiosurgery planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the usability of 3D representation and haptic technology in radiosurgery planning.
  • To compare user preferences and perceived control between 3D and 2D interaction methods.
  • To assess the utility of haptic feedback in Leksell GammaKnife radiosurgery.

Main Methods:

  • Experienced Leksell GammaKnife users participated in the study.
  • Users performed radiosurgery planning tasks using both 3D and 2D interfaces.

  • Haptic feedback was integrated into the 3D system for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Users preferred 3D representation for initial plan drafting.
    • Users reverted to 2D interfaces for final plan adjustments, citing inadequate perceived control with 3D methods.
    • Haptic forces were not perceived as useful by practitioners.

    Conclusions:

    • While 3D visualization aids initial radiosurgery planning, 2D methods remain superior for final adjustments due to control concerns.
    • Current haptic technology integration does not enhance user control or utility in this context.
    • Further research is needed to optimize 3D and haptic interfaces for radiosurgery.
