Professor, VIce-Chair Duke University Medical Center
This session will explore how virtual and augmented reality technologies can be used in neurosurgical training and practice. Potential applications for education, preoperative planning and patient care will be covered, with a focus on how these technologies can help simulate complex surgeries and provide enhanced learning experiences for trainees.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the principles of virtual and augmented reality technologies and their relevance to neurosurgical training and practice.
Identify potential applications of VR and AR in neurosurgical education, including simulation of complex surgeries and enhanced learning experiences for trainees.
Analyze how VR and AR can improve preoperative planning and decision-making in neurosurgery, including visualization of anatomical structures and surgical scenarios. Discuss the impact of VR and AR technologies on patient care, including their use in patient education and informed consent processes.
