Mixed Reality as a Digital Visualisation Solution for the Head and Neck Tumour Board: Application Creation and Implementation Study.

The preparation and implementation of interdisciplinary oncological case reviews are time-consuming and complex. The variety of clinical and radiological information must be presented in a clear and comprehensible manner. Only if all relevant patient-specific information is demonstrated in a short time frame can well-founded treatment decisions be made on this basis.

Comparison of Five Different Treatment Approaches of Mandibular Keratocystic Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC): A Retrospective Recurrence Analysis of Clinical and Radiographic Parameters.

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a benign but locally aggressive growing lesion that infiltrates the bone and surrounding tissue. It is characterized by high rates of recurrence along with rapid growth. Different forms of partly successful treatment therapies are reported.

Usage of Object Matching Algorithms Combined with Mixed Reality for Enhanced Decision Making in Orbital Reconstruction-A Technical Note.

This technical note describes the usage of object matching to virtually compare different modes of reconstruction in orbital trauma and display the results to the surgeon and the patient pre-operatively via mixed reality devices for enhanced surgical decision making and immersive patient education. A case of an orbital floor fracture is presented for which surface and volume matching were implemented to compare orbital reconstruction utilizing pre-fabricated titanium meshes versus patient-specific implants. The results could be visualized by mixed reality devices to further enhance surgical decision-making.

Advances and Innovations in Ablative Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery Using Mixed Reality Technologies in Personalized Medicine.

The benefit of computer-assisted planning in head and neck ablative and reconstructive surgery has been extensively documented over the last decade. This approach has been proven to offer a more secure surgical procedure. In the treatment of cancer of the head and neck, computer-assisted surgery can be used to visualize and estimate the location and extent of the tumor mass.
