Abstract
In the field of medical image processing, three-dimensional image analysis has been further advanced and extended reality (XR) technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) have been applied to support 3D and spatial diagnosis and surgery by wearing smart XR goggles. We developed a cloud-based XR application “Holoeyes MD” for analyzing the patient individual medical images in 3D by CT, MRI, and US. The shape data of these organs is exported to polygons, the 3D shapes are digitized into coordinates. The 3D structures such as the depth and size of the organs usually used to be incompletely understood on a flat monitor screen. The introduction of the cloud-based XR and 5G has made it possible to understand more intuitively the 3D positional relationship of various anatomy and doctor’s presence and existence in online telemedicine and remote space sharing.
