Digital reality is an emerging platform for three-dimensional representation of medical imaging data. In this technical innovation paper, the authors evaluated the accuracy and utility of mixed-reality technology in the morphological evaluation of complex congenital heart disease. The authors converted CT datasets of 12 heart specimens with different subtypes of double-outlet right ventricle to stereoscopic images and interrogated them using a mixed-reality system. The morphological features identified on the stereoscopic models were compared with findings at macroscopic examination of the actual heart specimens. The results showed that the mixed-reality system provided highly accurate stereoscopic display of spatially complex congenital cardiac lesions, with interactive features that might enhance 3-D understanding of morphology. Additionally, the authors found that high-resolution digital reproduction of cardiac specimens using clinical CT scanners is feasible for preservation and educational purposes.
