“…Second, one of the shortcomings of non-see-through head-mounted displays has been reported to be the difficulty in communicating with the patient because direct vision is limited by the device. 13 Nevertheless, because we could directly observe the patient by glancing downward below the device, wearing the HMZ-T2 was not found to hamper communication with the patient in this study. Our results suggest that the modern head-mounted displays are ready for clinical use in sonography, although they still have some wearability issues that need to be improved.…”

“…Further evaluation would be needed to clarify the effect of applying head‐mounted displays on the prevalence of musculoskeletal injury in long‐term scanning. Second, one of the shortcomings of non–see‐through head‐mounted displays has been reported to be the difficulty in communicating with the patient because direct vision is limited by the device 13 . Nevertheless, because we could directly observe the patient by glancing downward below the device, wearing the HMZ‐T2 was not found to hamper communication with the patient in this study.…”

“…The application of head‐mounted displays to sonography so far has been studied diligently in experimental settings 11 , 12 . One preclinical trial was performed in 2008 to examine the feasibility of using head‐mounted displays during sonography 13 . The idea was that the head‐mounted display would allow the examiner to maintain an ergonomically natural position during the examination.…”

Because of the remarkably improved image quality and wearability of modern head-mounted displays, a monitoring system using a head-mounted display rather than a fixed-site monitor for sonographic scanning has the potential to improve the diagnostic performance and lessen the examiner's physical burden during a sonographic examination. In a preclinical setting, 2 head-mounted displays, the HMZ-T2 (Sony Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and the Wrap1200 (Vuzix Corporation, Rochester, NY), were found to be applicable to sonography. In a clinical setting, the feasibility of the HMZ-T2 was shown by its good image quality and acceptable wearability. This modern device is appropriate for clinical use in sonography.

The personal head-mounted display (HMD) has emerged as a novel image monitoring system. We present here the application of a high-definition organic electroluminescent binocular HMD in ureteral stent placement. Our HMD system displayed multiple forms of information such as integrated, sharp, high-contrast images using a four-split screen or a picture-in-picture technique both seamlessly and synchronously. When both the operator and the assistant wore an HMD, they could continuously and simultaneously monitor the cystoscopic and fluoroscopic images in an ergonomically natural position. Furthermore, each participant was able to modulate the displayed images depending on the procedure. In all five cases, both the operator and the assistant successfully used this system with no unfavorable event. No participants experienced any HMD wear-related adverse effects. We therefore believe this HMD system might be potentially beneficial during ureteral stent placement procedures. Furthermore, it is compact, easily introduced and affordable.
