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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
