Enhancing Orthopedic Surgical Training With Interactive Photorealistic 3D Visualization
Surgical training integrates several years of didactic learning, simulation, mentorship, and hands-on experience. Challenges include stress, technical demands, and new technologies. Orthopedic education often uses static materials like books, images, and videos, lacking interactivity. This study compares a new interactive photorealistic 3D visualization to 2D videos for learning total hip arthroplasty. In a randomized controlled trial, participants (students and residents) were evaluated on spa…

AnatomyCarve: A VR occlusion management technique for medical images based on segment-aware clipping
Visualizing 3D medical images is challenging due to self-occlusion, where anatomical structures of interest can be obscured by surrounding tissues. Existing methods, such as slicing and interactive clipping, are limited in their ability to fully represent internal anatomy in context. In contrast, hand-drawn medical illustrations in anatomy books manage occlusion effectively by selectively removing portions based on tissue type, revealing 3D structures while preserving context. This paper introd…
