Advancements in endovascular treatment have replaced complex open surgical procedures with minimally invasive options, like valve replacement and aneurysm repair. This paper proposes using three-dimensional (3D) modeling and virtual reality to aid in C-arm positioning, angle measurements, and roadmap generation for neuro-interventional catheterization lab procedural planning, minimizing procedure time.
FAQs
Spatial tracking links the virtual anatomical model to the patient’s physical position, allowing imaging-derived structures to remain aligned with the operative field as the surgeon changes viewpoint or manipulates the display. This alignment helps interpret CT or MRI information in context by connecting digital anatomy with the location of the clinical procedure.
CT and MRI scans provide the imaging information from which virtual anatomical models are generated. Rendering these data in three dimensions can make spatial relationships easier to interpret than viewing images separately. In surgical planning or navigation, the resulting models help connect recorded anatomy with the operative field and support clinical decision-making.
Interactive models allow surgeons to view and manipulate anatomical information rather than only observe static images. This interaction can strengthen spatial understanding by helping users examine anatomy in relation to instruments and procedural steps. The shared visual environment also gives care teams a common way to interpret relevant structures during planning, guidance, or training.
A workflow can use the technology across several stages: imaging data may support preoperative planning, aligned virtual anatomy may assist intraoperative navigation, and the same type of interactive environment may support training. Linking these stages helps carry anatomical information from preparation into the procedure and then into education, rather than treating imaging and instruction as separate activities.
A shared visual environment can give surgeons and other care-team members a common reference for anatomy, instruments, and procedural steps. Instead of relying only on separate image views or verbal descriptions, participants can interpret linked information within the same spatial context. This may improve communication during planning, navigation, and training by making relevant relationships easier to discuss.
Its medical applications include preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and surgical training. In planning, virtual anatomy can support preparation; during procedures, alignment with the patient can provide contextual guidance; and in education, interactive models can connect anatomy with procedural steps. Together, these uses show how medical imaging can become more integrated into surgical practice.
