Overview

Randomized trial shows MR improves spatial awareness and reduces cognitive load in orthopedic oncology surgeries.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mixed reality in enhancing preoperative surgical planning for orthopedic oncology.
  • Evaluated 72 patients with orthopedic tumor conditions using MR for preoperative assessment.
  • Used 3D Slicer and MIMICS software to create tumor models and support planning.
  • Conducted assessments through conventional 2D methods followed by MR holographic methods.
  • The MR 3D hologram group outperformed the 2D group in spatial awareness of pathoanatomy.
  • Cognitive workload was lower in the MR group according to NASA-TLX scores.
  • Cinematic-rendered 3D model generation took an average of 61 minutes using the upgraded MR software.
