Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Percutaneous biopsies are crucial diagnostic procedures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to improve patient outcomes.
  • Extended reality (XR) offers potential for enhancing surgical guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of optical see-through (Magic Leap 2) and video see-through (Apple Vision Pro) XR head-mounted displays.
  • To evaluate the added benefit of XR during percutaneous biopsies on an abdominal phantom.
  • To assess the impact of XR on targeting accuracy, procedure time, and user experience.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study involving 16 radiologists (5 experienced, 11 beginners).
  • Radiologists performed needle insertions on an abdominal phantom using conventional methods, ML2, and AVP.
  • Accuracy was measured by post-procedure CT, assessing target acquisition and proximity.
  • Cognitive workload and user experience were evaluated via questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Beginner radiologists showed significant improvements in targeting accuracy with XR, particularly for complex lesions near blood vessels.
  • XR reduced needle puncture time for both beginner and experienced radiologists.
  • Apple Vision Pro was perceived as more mentally demanding by experienced radiologists.
  • Beginners adapted well to XR, with no significant increase in perceived workload.

Conclusions:

  • Apple Vision Pro (AVP) demonstrates comparable performance to Magic Leap 2 (ML2) in needle placement tasks.
  • XR technology holds potential for clinical applications in interventional radiology.
  • Further research and development of XR for image-guided procedures are warranted.
