Abstract：
International bootcamps are important for providing access to advanced education and training to physicians around the world. In countries where resources are scarce, the opportunity to be exposed to advanced training and the latest technologies is limited. We set out to evaluate the educational value of integrating augmented reality (AR) into the curriculum of a global neurosurgery bootcamp. AR was integrated into this year\'s neurosurgical bootcamp in Hanoi, Vietnam, organized by the Foundation for International Education in Neurological Surgery (FIENS). Participants had not experienced this technology before a surgical adjunct. A study was conducted to evaluate how AR impacts the surgical approach to a cranial tumor for boot camp participants with limited neurosurgical experience. Without the use of AR, the majority of participants (66%) chose the incorrect surgical approach to a frontal tumor. However, after using AR to visualize the lesion in 3D, all participants chose the correct surgical approach. Additionally, participants were more precise when planning with AR as the distance from the skull insertion point to the tumor was significantly shorter with AR than without AR. This study demonstrated the potential of AR to improve the education and enhance the experience trainees have at international bootcamps. Importantly, it is our hope that industry involvement in these global initiatives continues to grow as it is critical for trainees in developing countries to be exposed to common as well as emerging medical technologies.
摘要：
国际训练营对于向世界各地的医生提供高级教育和培训非常重要。在资源匮乏的国家,接受高级培训和最新技术的机会有限。我们着手评估将增强现实（AR）整合到全球神经外科训练营课程中的教育价值。AR被纳入今年河内的神经外科训练营，越南,由神经外科国际教育基金会（FIENS）组织。参与者在手术辅助之前没有经历过这项技术。进行了一项研究，以评估AR如何影响神经外科经验有限的新兵训练营参与者的颅骨肿瘤手术方法。如果不使用AR，大多数参与者(66%)选择了不正确的额叶肿瘤手术方式.然而,在使用AR在3D中可视化病变后，所有参与者选择了正确的手术方式.此外,参与者在进行AR规划时更精确,因为与没有AR相比,AR组患者从颅骨插入点到肿瘤的距离明显更短.这项研究证明了AR在改善教育和增强学员在国际训练营中的经验方面的潜力。重要的是,我们希望业界对这些全球计划的参与继续增加，因为发展中国家的受训者接触常见和新兴的医疗技术至关重要。
