Real-time guidance of applicator placement will not be possible without the visual feedback of the applicator’s position relative to the patient’s anatomy. While the patient is in the MR bore, images can be acquired in real time; however, typically, they are reconstructed and displayed on viewing stations outside the MR-brachytherapy suite, making it impossible to use this information to guide the implant efficiently. To overcome this, OCC will use an MR-compatible heads-up display SensVue (Invivo, Florida), a 32″ high-resolution display safe in magnetic environments up to 3 T. It was initially intended for fMRI studies, but has been repurposed to provide imaging feedback during implantation.
A Novel Assessment Using a Panoramic Video Camera of Resuscitation Quality in Patients following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

We believe that a panoramic video camera is the first step to improving the evaluation of prehospital resuscitation. In the future, we aim not only to improve CPR quality and teamwork synchronization but also to develop a real-time resuscitation feedback device to allow prompt feedback from the dispatch center or medical directors. For example, with the combination of a heads-up display, the team leader, dispatchers, or medical directors can simultaneously visualize the entire resuscitation field, especially for potential dangers in the surroundings. Furthermore, they can monitor team performance simultaneously, making prehospital resuscitation safe and efficient. In the future, to improve the confidentiality of the video recordings, for example, identity concealment and recording the material safely, we plan to upload the video data simultaneously during the resuscitation, using 5 G internet. The recording would be uploaded to a designated cloud service that is maintained and protected by the Fire Department, New Taipei City Government. Only members of the quality assessment team of the New Taipei City Fire Department would have access to this cloud service for quality improvement or research.
Detecting functional deficits following sub-concussive head impacts: the relationship between head impact kinematics and visual-vestibular balance performance

The visual-vestibular balance/sensory integration assessment was a part of a larger battery of neurological tests presented using an enhanced head-up display visor, noise-reducing headphones, and a handheld display to record participants’ responses (26). The system provides an immersive environment and was designed for multimodal neurologic assessment in remote, noisy, or distracting environments. Test responses are recorded via integrated sensors within the visor and the handheld unit including push button responses and accelerometer detection of movement. The system was designed for research purposes and is not commercially available at present.
Advances in the tools and techniques of vitreoretinal surgery

Working on a 3D heads-up display system requires some amount of learning curve. Ophthalmic surgeons may experience initial difficulty while shifting to this new platform from a conventional surgical operating microscope. The resolution of the images is less than normal operating microscopes. This can be overcome by working at a higher magnification. Surgeons may encounter occasional issues with decreased peripheral acuity and washed-out images when performing peripheral laser. Parfocusing at the beginning of the case and decreasing the light intensity while performing peripheral laser with scleral depression can help minimize these issues.
