Steps towards open standards for medical virtual reality systems.
Very little medical virtual reality systems which are developed are applied in real surgical scenarios. One reason for this is that the system solutions resulting from research projects often address a single research question and are not embedded in an overall design. This paper presents a DICOM based approach on standardizing data structures, i.e. surface meshes, which are required for supporting surgical workflows by virtual reality applications.
