Abstract
In traumatology physicians heavily rely on computed tomography (CT) 2D axial scans to identify and assess the patient's injuries after an accident. However, in some cases it can be difficult to rigorously evaluate the real extent of the damage considering only the bidimensional slices produced by the CT, and some life-threatening lesions can be missed. With the development of 3D holographic rendering and extended reality (XR) technology, CT images can be projected in a 3D format through head-mounted holographic displays, allowing multi-view from different angles and interactive slice intersections, thus increasing anatomical intelligibility. In this article, we explain how to import CT scans into holographic displays for 3D visualization and further compare the methodolgy with traditional bidimensional reading.
