Introduction: Proper physical activity and sport for everyone are one of the main cornerstones for a healthy lifestyle. However, regular sport activity is not without risk, with the correlation between participation in sport activities and the emergence of injuries being well documented. One of the most common injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament rup‐ ture which brings negative consequences for both the a...
Mixed reality (MR) technology combines the real and the virtual world in an innovative way, where the users can see and interact with both worlds at the same time, having several applications in surgical practice, planning, and training. A MR application was developed to be used in a head mounted display (Microsoft HoloLens 2) for surgical training of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, with ...
Mixed Reality is a technology that has gained attention due to its unique capabilities for accessing and visualizing information, becoming a valuable tool for medicine, particularly for the operating room and surgical learning; A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to answer the research questions established using the PICO framework; Although implementation of Mixed Reality applicat...
Training medical professionals in Orthopedics faces several technical challenges. The equipment required for practical, hands-on training is often restricted to operating rooms. This constraint presents a significant issue, as developing the necessary skills to perform surgeries requires substantial practice time. This work developed a virtual training model using mixed reality, using a QR code to generate a vi...
Manual and automatic segmentation techniques can be applied to DICOM medical images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to extract certain structures, such as soft tissues, but the precise extraction of bone structures may be limited. This study studies these types of knee bone tissue segmentation on MRI, to avoid the need to resort to computed tomography (CT) for obtaining the desired bone structures. Manual...
Mixed Reality (MR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing surgical procedures and training in the operating room (OR). The applicability of MR in the OR has potential benefits and challenges. In this study, we conducted a systematic review to comprehensively evaluate the use of MR in the OR, specifically focusing on training, remote support, and surgical planning. Additionally, we analysed ava...
