P‐4.2: A Comprehensive Investigation of the Prospects and Challenges of Extended Reality Applied to Medicine

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, modern technologies are increasingly applied in the medical field, such as 3D Printing technology for preoperative planning or medical prostheses, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for cancer diagnosis. Many surgeons and researchers have noticed that Extended Reality (XR) holds great potential in medicine. XR includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), which can be applied to various scenarios based on the unique characteristics of each technology. For example, VR can create realistic virtual surgical environments for training, preoperative planning, and even telemedicine During surgery, surgeons can use AR to view both the real environment and CT images simultaneously. Meanwhile, with AI's ability to analyze and predict data, XR‐AI integration can further enhance medical applications, such as generating realistic surgical training environments from patient case data or providing guidance during surgery. XR enables more personalized treatments and improves patient outcomes. However, due to system vulnerabilities in devices or network communications, it also introduces privacy, security, and ethical challenges, including System Attacks, Data Poisoning Attacks, and privacy risks. These issues could severely compromise the privacy of patients and doctors, threaten their property, and even endanger patients' lives.
