Although applications are currently growing around the entertainment field, wide-spread adoption of VR devices opens up the potential for other applications that may have been unfeasible with past implementations of VR. A VR environment may provide an equal or larger screen area than what is provided with the use of multiple conventional displays while remaining comparatively cheaper and more portable making it an attractive option for diagnostic radiology applications. Methods A VR application for the viewing of multiple image slices was designed using: the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD), Unity, and 3D Slicer. Volumes loaded within 3D Slicer are sent to a Unity application that proceeds to render a scene for the Oculus Rift HMD. Users …},

Although applications are currently growing around the entertainment field, widespread adoption of virtual reality devices opens up the potential for other applications that may have been unfeasible with past implementations of virtual reality. A virtual reality environment may provide an equal or larger viewing volume than what is provided with the use of multiple conventional displays while remaining comparatively cheaper and more portable. A virtual reality application for the viewing of multiple image slices was designed using: the Oculus Rift head-mounted display, Unity, 3D Slicer, and a gamepad controller. A web server acquires data from volumes loaded within 3D Slicer and forwards it to a Unity application that proceeds to render a scene for the Oculus Rift head- mounted display. Users may interact with the images adjusting windowing and leveling using the handheld gamepad controller. Multiple images could also be brought closer to the user for detailed inspection. Application usage was demonstrated with the simultaneous visualization of concurrent slices of a serial CT scan of a patient with a lung nodule. The tasks of identifying the lesion and determining the malignancy status by monitoring the growth of the lesion over time were performed successfully. Also demonstrated was the studying of multiple- sclerosis lesion evolution by visualization of a large time-series MRI dataset. A virtual reality environment for the purpose of aiding diagnostic radiology has been created and demonstrated with potential use cases.</p>},

abstract = {Previously, a static and adjustable image overlay systems were proposed for aiding needle interventions. The system was either fixed to a scanner or mounted over a large articulated counterbalanced arm. Certain drawbacks associated with these systems limited the clinical translation. In order to minimize these limitations, we present the mobile image overlay system with the objective of reduced system weight, smaller dimension, and increased tracking accuracy. The design study includes optimal workspace definition, selection of display device, mirror, and laser source. The laser plane alignment, phantom design, image overlay plane calibration, and system accuracy validation methods are discussed. The virtual image is generated by a tablet device and projected into the patient by using a beamsplitter mirror. The viewbox weight (1.0kg) was reduced by 8.2 times and image overlay plane tracking precision (0 …},
