From Screen to Space: Evaluating Siemens' Cinematic Reality

Abstract

As one of the first research teams with full access to Siemens' Cinematic Reality, we evaluate its usability and clinical potential for cinematic volume rendering on the Apple Vision Pro. We visualized venous-phase liver computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography scans from the CHAOS and MRCP\_DLRecon datasets. Fourteen medical experts assessed usability and anticipated clinical integration potential using the System Usability Scale, ISONORM 9242-110-S questionnaire, and an open-ended survey. Their feedback identified feasibility, key usability strengths, and required features to catalyze the adaptation in real-world clinical workflows. The findings provide insights into the potential of immersive cinematic rendering in medical imaging.
