Of 4 studies with a finding on this question: 1 report a positive finding, 3 descriptive. These reflect what each study's authors report.
“Results suggest that the platform is easy and quick to learn and could be used in clinical practice to improve anatomical understanding, to make surgical planning easier than the traditional method, and to strengthen the memorization of surgical planning.”

“Challenges include cost, ergonomics, rapid segmentation, and organ motion.”
Finos 2024 · Narrative review
“This study reports the potential value of AR in pulmonary interventions, however, prospective trials need to be conducted to decide on whether novel 3D visualization techniques affect perioperative treatment and outcomes.”
Witowski 2019 · Case series · n: 2 patients
“Increasing availability of tools that make the VR environment a possibility could potentially be valuable in the interventional radiology suite.”
