Learning the endless intricacies of operative neurosurgical anatomy requires that surgeons complement their intraoperative experiences with a variety of educational resources. In the past 2 decades, rapid improvements in digital graphics and computing power have enabled a new generation of 3-dimensional (3D) virtual resources that overcome limitations of more traditional 2-dimensional materials. Today, dozens of immersive 3D visualization platforms exist for applications such as learning neuroanatomy, simulating operative techniques, and planning surgical interventions with patient-specific models. The purpose of this article is to identify current applications of 3D digital modeling and virtual reality in neurosurgery. In addition, we showcase a new series of freely available 3D virtual-reality models created to assist in learning complex cranial anatomy. We anticipate these models to have a wide range of educational, clinical, and research applications. Three-dimensional visualization is poised to modernize the ways we learn and teach neurosurgical anatomy outside of the operating room. Future generations of neurosurgeons are expected to benefit from these technologies from the earliest stages of training.
学习复杂的神经外科手术解剖学需要外科医生将他们的手术经验与各种教育资源相结合。在过去的 20 年中,数字图形和计算能力的快速发展使新一代的三维(3D)虚拟资源得以出现,从而克服了更传统的二维材料的局限性。如今,有数十种沉浸式 3D 可视化平台可用于学习神经解剖学、模拟手术技术以及使用患者特定模型规划手术干预等应用。本文旨在确定 3D 数字建模和虚拟现实在神经外科中的当前应用。此外,我们展示了一系列新的免费 3D 虚拟现实模型,旨在帮助学习复杂的颅面解剖学。我们预计这些模型将具有广泛的教育、临床和研究应用。三维可视化有望使我们在手术室外学习和教授神经外科解剖学的方式现代化。未来几代神经外科医生有望从培训的早期阶段就受益于这些技术。
