Mixed reality-guided intraoperative visual support for combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mixed reality in guiding brachytherapy for cervical cancer.
• Utilized DICOM RT data for mixed reality applications in gynecological brachytherapy.
• Merged real and virtual environments using a head-mounted display to visualize treatment areas.
• Provided visual support via 3D models during procedures.
• Demonstrated improved visualization of treatment areas during insertion of brachytherapy devices.
• Enhanced precision in treatment delivery, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
