Smartphone applications are a relatively young field of research that have potential in interventional radiology (IR) toward improvement of accuracy and standardization for needle-based procedures like biopsy and ablation. This review explores the adaptation of smartphones' built-in sensors for virtual and augmented reality uses in IR. The ergonomic advantages and translational hurdles and limitations are reviewed, outlining the potential future developmental pathway of smartphones in IR.Cardiovascular and interventional radiologySmartphone Technology for Applications in Image-Guided Minimally Invasive Interventional Procedures.PMC11790737ZID BC0112421ZIDBC011242Saccenti LLee KXu SWood BJMuniyandi PChristou ALi MfalseSmartphone Technology for Applications in Image-Guided Minimally Invasive Interventional Procedures.Smartphones contain powerful and enabling technology components that can be re-applied toward procedural tasks commonly used in everyday clinical image-guided therapies and minimally invasive procedures that use three-dimensional information and feedback during procedures.
