Abstrakt: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and utility of virtual reality (VR) for baffle planning in congenital heart disease (CHD), specifically by creating patient-specific 3D heart models and assessing a user-friendly VR interface. Patient-specific 3D heart models were created using high-resolution imaging data and a VR interface was developed for baffle planning. The process of model creation and the VR interface were assessed for their feasibility, usability, and clinical relevance. Collaborative and interactive planning within the VR space were also explored. The study findings demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of VR in baffle planning for CHD. Patient-specific 3D heart models generated from imaging data provided valuable insights into complex spatial relationships. The developed VR interface allowed clinicians to interact with the models, simulate different baffle configurations, and assess their impact on blood flow. The VR space's collaborative and interactive planning enhanced the baffle planning process. This study highlights the potential of VR as a valuable tool in baffle planning for CHD. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using patient-specific 3D heart models and a user-friendly VR interface to enhance surgical planning and patient outcomes. Further research and development in this field are warranted to harness the full benefits of VR technology in CHD surgical management.
