XR44

In an emergency room, trauma surgeons/Emergency Doc’s are under pressure to evaluate patient as quickly as possible. In cases where more detail review is needed they order a CT scan which is acquired in a different room. Often to review the images they leave the patient to go to the imaging room, this is time consuming and potentially dangerous as they are away from.

The system allows clinicians to review 3D data and collaborate

How we built it: used DICOM images and imported into Vuforia, and exported to the Hololens

Challenges we ran into: data conversion from DICOM to a readable version by Unity/Vuforia

Accomplishments that we're proud of: narrowing the problem and obtaining good sample data to import into the XR environment

What we learned: many are trying to do this, but it is a difficult problem

What's next for XR44 : streamline the workflow to get a medical image into an AR environment.
