Abstract
Fully immersive virtual reality (VR) has the potential to improve neurosurgical planning. However, there is a lack of research tools for this area. We present a research framework for VR neurosurgery based on open-source tools. We showcase the potential of such a framework using clinical data of two patients and research data of one subject. As first step toward practical evaluations, certified neurosurgeons positively assessed the VR visualizations and interactions using head-mounted displays. Methods and findings described in our study thus provide a foundation for research and development of versatile and user-friendly VR tools for improving neurosurgical planning and training.
