3D cinematic reconstructions of cardiovascular CT presented in augmented reality: subjective assessment of clinical feasibility and potential use cases.

ABSTRACT: Augmented reality (AR) is a new technique enabling interaction with three-dimensional (3D) holograms of cinematic rendering (CR) reconstructions. Research in this field is in its very early steps, and data is scarce. We evaluated image quality, usability, and potential applications of AR in cardiovascular image datasets. Ten CR reconstructions of cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) datasets with complex anatomical abnormalities were presented to six radiologists and three cardiologists first on diagnostic screens and subsequently in AR. Subjective image quality and user experience were rated on 5-point Likert scales to assess usability and potential applications of AR. CR of CT datasets covering multiple images series of the same exam with differing kernels was performed in 143 ± 31 s
