NeuroCR: Integrating Mixed Reality with Desktop Medical Imaging Software for Pre-surgical Evaluations of Epilepsy Patients

We present our prototype system, developed via a participatory design process with neurologists, demonstrating how Cross Reality technology can integrate the immersive, stereoscopic visualization and interaction benefits of eXtended Reality tools with traditional desktop medical imaging software. Our system enables clinicians to work simultaneously with both systems, with changes to the data synchronized between them. To address the clinical use-case, we adapted interaction techniques to make cross-sectional analysis more intuitive than on a flat screen. Feedback from the neurologists indicate a Cross Reality system has potential to enhance their current workflows.

Abstract

We present our prototype system, developed via a participatory design process with neurologists, demonstrating how Cross Reality technology can integrate the immersive, stereoscopic visualization and interaction benefits of eXtended Reality tools with traditional desktop medical imaging software. Our system enables clinicians to work simultaneously with both systems, with changes to the data synchronized between them. To address the clinical use-case, we adapted interaction techniques to make cross-sectional analysis more intuitive than on a flat screen. Feedback from the neurologists indicate a Cross Reality system has potential to enhance their current workflows.
