Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Education
  • Augmented Reality

Background:

  • Traditional neurosurgical anatomical education relies on cadavers and 2D imaging.
  • There is a need for innovative tools to enhance spatial understanding and surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an augmented reality (AR) cube as a tool for neurosurgical anatomical education.
  • To assess its usability and effectiveness in enhancing the learning experience for surgical trainees.

Main Methods:

  • High-resolution 3D models of cadaveric dissections were created using photogrammetry.
  • These models were integrated with a handheld AR cube featuring quick response codes.
  • Trainees used the AR cube during cadaveric dissections and completed a user experience survey.

Main Results:

  • The AR cube system successfully displayed realistic perspective changes of surgical windows.
  • Trainees reported a satisfactory user experience and agreed the system enhanced learning.
  • The system was tested by 35 neurosurgery trainees across Turkey, El Salvador, and Tanzania.

Conclusions:

  • The AR cube effectively combines tactile and visual learning with detailed 3D anatomical models.
  • It is an inexpensive, lightweight, and implementable tool to supplement neurosurgical education.
  • The system facilitates independent co-visualization of anatomical dissections for trainees.
