“…As previously discussed, there have been numerous applications of AR/VR in surgery to include pre-operative planning, education, and intra-operative assistance [6]. However, AR/ VR is not yet FDA approved in diagnostic radiology, but is being actively researched by DXC Technologies/D3D Technologies with an initial focus in breast cancer imaging [11][12][13].…”

In this chapter, we will review the applications of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in diagnostic radiology. We begin the chapter by discussing state of the art medical imaging techniques to include scanner hardware, spatial resolution, and presentation methods to the radiologist or other medical professionals. We continue by discussing the methodology of a technique called Depth-3-Dimensional (D3D) imaging, which transforms cross-sectional medical imaging datasets into a left and right eye images that that can be viewed with state of the art AR or VR headsets. We include results of the D3D processed AR/VR imaging and conclude with a discussion of the path forward.

“…Utilization rates of diagnostic imaging are on the rise [8][9][10]. Currently, there is no United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved AR/VR system used in diagnostic radiology [11]. AR/VR provides enhanced viewing including depth perception and improved human machine interface (HMI) [12,13].…”

“…The amalgamation of real-time video data and computergenerated visual feedback, such as the discussed indicative tools and overlay metrics, has the capacity to provide objective and quantifiable data. While augmented reality has been discussed in other works [39] as a potential diagnostic and rehabilitative tool, limited work has been done to apply it in this context.…”

Facial symmetry is a key component in quantifying the perception of beauty. In this paper, we propose a set of facial features computed from facial landmarks which can be extracted at a low computational cost. We quantitatively evaluated the proposed features for predicting perceived attractiveness from human portraits on four benchmark datasets (SCUT-FBP, SCUT-FBP5500, FACES and Chicago Face Database). Experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed features is comparable to those extracted from a set with much denser facial landmarks. The computation of facial features was also implemented as an augmented reality (AR) app developed on Android OS. The app overlays four types of measurements and guidelines over a live video stream, while the facial measurements are computed from the tracked facial landmarks at run time. The developed app can be used to assist plastic surgeons in assessing facial symmetry when planning reconstructive facial surgeries.

“…XR technology has yet to reach its full potential for radiology, preliminary systems have started to be proposed for breast cancer diagnosis. The system D3D [5]- [7] is the only known XR system for breast cancer diagnosis. D3D showed promising results demonstrating the depth perception and focal point convergence of XR systems in medical imaging.…”

Adoption of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) -known collectively as Extended Reality (XR) devices has been rapidly increasing over recent years. However, the focus of XR research has shown a lack of diversity in solutions to the problems within medicine, with it being predominantly focused in augmenting surgical procedures. Whilst important, XR applied to aiding medical diagnosis and surgical planning is relatively unexplored. In this paper we present a fully functional mammographic image analysis system, Breast3D, that can reconstruct MRI and CT scan data in XR. With breast cancer Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) risk laxicon, early detection and clinical workflow such as Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings for cancer in mind, our new mammography visualization system reconstructs CT and MRI volumes in a real 3D space. Breast3D is built upon the past literature, and inspired from research for diagnosis and surgical planning. In addition to visualising the models in MR using the Microsoft HoloLens, Breast3D is versatile and portable to different XR head-mounted displays such as HTC Vive. Breast3D demonstrates the early potential for XR within diagnostics of 3D mammographic modalities, an application that has been proposed but until now has not been implemented.
