Virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays are an attractive technology for viewing intrasurgical optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes because they liberate surgeons from microscope oculars. We demonstrate real-time, interactive viewing of OCT volumes in a commercial HTC Vive immersive VR system using previously reported ray casting techniques. Furthermore, we show interactive manipulation and sectioning of volumes using handheld controllers and guidance of mock surgical procedures in porcine eyes exclusively within VR. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first immersive VR-OCT viewer with stereo ray casting volumetric renders, arbitrary sectioning planes, and live acquisition support. We believe VR-OCT volume displays will advance ophthalmic surgery towards VR-integrated surgery.
虚拟现实（VR）头戴式显示器是一种颇具吸引力的技术，可用于查看术中光学相干断层扫描（OCT）容积，因为它将外科医生从显微镜目镜中解放了出来。我们使用先前报道的光线投射技术，在商用HTC Vive沉浸式VR系统中演示了对OCT容积的实时交互式查看。此外，我们展示了在VR环境中仅使用手持控制器对猪眼容积进行交互式操作和切片，以及模拟手术过程的引导。据我们所知，我们报道了首个具有立体光线投射容积渲染、任意切片平面和实时采集支持的沉浸式VR-OCT查看器。我们相信，VR-OCT容积显示将推动眼科手术朝着VR集成手术的方向发展。
