Comparison of Cinematic Rendering and Computed Tomography for Speed and Comprehension of Surgical Anatomy

Abstract

Key Points Question Does the use of cinematic rendering improve the comprehension of the surgical anatomy? Findings In this German preclinical randomized crossover study, visualization with cinematic rendering allowed a more correct and faster comprehension of the surgical anatomy compared with conventional computed tomography independent of the level of surgical experience. Meaning Cinematic rendering is a tool that may assist general surgeons with preoperative preparation and intraoperative guidance through an improved interpretation of computed tomography imaging data.
