Case-specific three-dimensional hologram with a mixed reality technique for tumor resection in otolaryngology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We report our first experience of using a case-specific three-dimensional (3D) hologram for tumor resection in otolaryngology to show the proof of concept. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to assess the usefulness of the mixed reality technique in otolaryngology.

Methods

A case-specific 3D hologram was developed from enhanced images of dynamic computed tomography, with reference to contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images, and used for preoperative planning and intraoperative image reference. To evaluate the usefulness of the 3D hologram with head mount displays (HMDs), 18 attendings and resident otolaryngologists completed a questionnaire with the Likert scale.

Results

The case-specific 3D hologram on HMDs was successfully used by means of e
