Summary

Patients who will undergo a intracranial aneurysm (IA) surgery are educated concerning their disease and the surgical procedure.The objective of this study is to explore the advantages of conventional, virtual reality and 3D stereolithographic models for patient and resident education in the treatment of lAs.

Detailed description

Patient understanding of their medical condition and treatment satisfaction has gained increasing attention in medicine. As for neurosurgical conditions however, the treatment plan is often difficult for patients to comprehend, with many of them having an inaccurate understanding of the involved anatomy. Novel technologies therefore may play a role in facilitating patient education. In particular, conventional 2D images makes it sometimes difficult for surgeons to inform their patients about the planned intervention and potential complications. This is why new modalities have been developed for patient information and may have further an impact on resident education to better estimate the treatment plan and potential complication. For the latter, given that intracranial aneurysms (lAs) are increasingly treated via endovascular methods, training opportunities are reduced and understanding of the vascular anatomy can become difficult. The objective of this study is to explore the advantages of conventional, virtual reality and 3D stereolithographic models for patient and resident education in the treatment of lAs.

Conditions

• Aneurysm Cerebral

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Questionnaire and use of 3 D tools	Resulting computer tomography(CT) results are transferred to a 3 D projection. Patients will be asked to wear 3 D glasses to be able visualizing the diagnosed vascular pathology. The physician will explain the disaese and treatment. The patient is ask to fill out a questionnaire post 3D consulting
