Unpublished study by David Liang, Girish Narayan, and Aaron Wang (Stanford University School of Medicine), and David Kao (NASA Ames Supercomputer Center) as described in Actuality Systems whitepaper Experimental Measurement of the Advantage of Spatial 3D Displays in the Planning of Surgical Procedures. In the study, two experienced cardiologists pointed a needle at a grid placed over a phantom of the heart. They attempted to predict the cell of the grid that would lead to intercepting a biopsy target within the phantom. Each subject did six tests with the needle in different positions. The data, which were randomized, were acquired by three ultrasound techniques (2-D echo, 3-D moving echo probe, and wide-angle 3-D stationary echo probe) and were displayed on a 2-D display. The data were acquired using a Philips Sonos 7500 real-time 3-D echocardiography system. The data displayed hi Perspecta was captured using the wide-angle 3-D stationary echo probe, which captures an 80 × 80 pyramid. The Spatial 3-D display provided results that were at least 20% more accurate than and twice as fast as other commonly used displays.
