This study introduces a virtual reality (VR) system for liver surgery planning, improving upon limited 2D and desktop 3D methods. The VR system enhances surgeon support and is user-friendly, as confirmed by user studies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Planning
  • Virtual Reality

Background:

  • Current 2D and desktop 3D systems provide limited assistance in liver surgery planning.
  • Traditional input devices like mice and keyboards restrict the potential of 3D surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel virtual reality (VR) based system for liver surgery planning.
  • To overcome the limitations of conventional 2D and desktop 3D planning tools.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a VR system designed to free 3D surgical data from 2D input constraints.
  • Conducting user studies to assess the system's effectiveness and usability.

Main Results:

  • The VR system effectively supports surgeons during the liver surgery planning process.
