An attempt to evaluate the use of mixed reality in surgically treated pediatric oncology patients.

Abstract

Mixed reality (MR) technology is increasingly used in surgical procedures, particularly in pediatric oncological surgery. The CarnaLife Holo system (MedApp S.A., Poland) converts medical imaging data into interactive 3D holograms for preoperative planning and intraoperative use.
