The use of video glasses at ultrasound-guided interventions
2002
Purpose: Video glasses form a virtual image in front of the user. We investigated the utility of video glasses at US-guided interventions.
Material and Methods: The video glasses were tested at 75 consecutive US-guided interventions. The operator sees the US image in front of him, and below the glasses, simply by moving his eyes, he can see the patient and the field of intervention.
Results: The video glasses could be used at all 75 US-guided interventions. The image quality was below that of the US monitor, but adequate. The working posture was improved, it was easy to get accustomed to using the system, there was no increased time consumption, and the patients felt comfortable with the set-up.
Conclusion: Use of video glasses facilitates US-guided interventions.
