“…Nine studies focused on the use of VR techniques [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Of these, seven reported VR-based simulators for surgical training [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], while two reported intraoperative guidance in RP [25,26]. Chalasani et al [18] developed a VR simulator of TRUS-guided prostate Bx for resident training [18].…”

Introduction MRI‐guided targeted biopsy has become standard of care for diagnosis of prostate cancer, with establishment of several biopsy techniques and platforms. Augmented reality smart glasses have emerged as novel technology to support image‐guided interventions. We aimed to investigate its usage while prostate biopsy. Methods MRI with PIRADS‐lesions ≥3 was uploaded to smart glasses (Vuzix BladeR) and augmented reality smart glasses‐assisted targeted biopsy (SMART‐TB) of the prostate was performed using cognitive fusion technology at the point of care. Detection rates were compared to systematic biopsy. Feasibility for SMART‐TB was assessed (10 domains from bad [1] to excellent [10]). Results SMART‐TB was performed for four patients. Prostate cancer detection was more likely for SMART‐TB (46%; 13/28) than for systematic biopsy (27%; 13/48). Feasibility scores were high [8–10] for practicality, multitasking, execution speed, comfort and device weight and low [1–4] for handling, battery and image quality. Median execution time: 28 min; Investment cost smart glass: 1017 USD. Conclusion First description of SMART‐TB demonstrated convenient feasibility. This novel technology might enhance diagnosis of prostate cancer in future.

“…VR can be considered an alternative method for gaining "handson" experience in many areas. Some studies have shown positive outcomes from the use of VR in medical education, surgical planning, and patient understanding (Wainman et al, 2020;Yoshida et al, 2019Yoshida et al, , 2020. We therefore thought it feasible that VR could provide a "hands-on-like" experience, and a combination of VR with a live communication tool could offer a new approach to teaching surgery and anatomy.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic and mandatory social distancing has brought challenges to anatomy educators who generally need in‐person classes. The purpose of this study is to share the experience of a distant online lecture on a surgical procedure and related anatomy in a three‐dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) workspace and to compare it with reported teaching methods, that is, an in‐person class and a Zoom online class. The lecture was delivered by three authors of this article in a VR workspace that enables people to meet through VR. The lectures were about combinations of dental surgical procedures and related clinical anatomy. Physically, the attendees could have been located anywhere in the world, so lecturers joined from the United States and the attendees were all from Japan. VR environment and its flexibility enabled attendees to join the lecture actively, helping them to gain understanding of the surgical procedure and anatomy more efficiently. The use of VR technology with a live communication tool demonstrated in this study has several advantages over previous education methods, although there are still technical issues or disadvantages that need to be addressed. Development of the technology and app/software is required so that more data can be processed at higher speed. Use of VR technology with a live communication tool could be an alternative teaching method. Its overall advantages are a closer look at the slides/monitor and concurrent observation of the multiple assets in various directions by multiple attendees. These advantages cannot be achieved by any other teaching method without VR assets with the workspace provided by Spatial. Even during the mandatory social distancing due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, this could enable us to foster 3D understanding of surgery and related anatomy. Further study is now needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this newly proposed teaching method by comparing it with traditional in‐person and online classes with a live communication tool.
