Résumé

Numerous navigation devices for percutaneous, CT-guided interventions exist and are, due to their advantages, increasingly integrated into the clinical workflow. However, effective training methods to ensure safe usage are still lacking. This study compares the potential of an augmented reality (AR) training application with conventional instructions for the Cube Navigation System (CNS), hypothesizing enhanced training with AR, leading to safer clinical usage. An AR-tablet app was developed to train users puncturing with CNS. In a study, 34 medical students were divided into two groups: One trained with the AR-app, while the other used conventional instructions. After training, each participant executed 6 punctures on a phantom (204 in total) following a standardized protocol to identify and measure two potential CNS procedural user errors: (1) missing the coordinates specified and (2) altering the needle trajectory during puncture. Training performance based on train time and occurrence of procedural errors, as well as scores of User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) for both groups, was compared. Training duration was similar between the groups. However, the AR-trained participants showed a 55.1% reduced frequency of the first procedural error (p > 0.05) and a 35.1% reduced extent of the second procedural error (p < 0.01) compared to the conventionally trained participants. UEQ scores favored the AR-training in five of six categories (p < 0.05). The AR-app enhanced training performance and user experience over traditional methods. This suggests the potential of AR-training for navigation devices like the CNS, potentially increasing their safety, ultimately improving outcomes in percutaneous needle placements.
