Abstract

We present a collaborative extended reality (XR) prototype for 3D surgical planning and visualization. Our system consists of three key modules: XR-based immersive surgical planning, cloud-based data management, and coordinated stereoscopic 3D displays for interactive visualization. We describe the overall workflow, core functionalities, implementations and setups. By conducting user studies on a liver resection surgical planning case, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our prototype and provide practical insights to inspire future advances in medical XR collaboration.
