Enhancing Medical Education with Virtual Reality
The study conducted at the CUNY (City University of New York) School of Medicine compares Avatar Medical’s VR technology to traditional anatomy teaching methods. Results show that VR boosts student engagement, confidence, and motivation through immersive 3D exploration. While not a full replacement, VR works best as a complementary tool that enhances medical education and training.

Management of ischiopagus twin separation with a focus on W–S incision design
.svg){kind=icon}
Ischiopagus twins share parts of the spine, central nervous system, gastrointestinal and genitou-rinary tracts with various degrees of severity. Their separation is a surgical challenge. From the perspective of the plastic surgeon, one of the straightforward technical problems of conjoined twin separation is the coverage of the large residual parietal defects determined by the initial skin incisions. This report provides a description of relevant incision design strategies for ischiopagus separation in order to minimize morbidity related to coverage issues, especially in the abdominal and perineal regions.

Fast-track VR for Cardiac Imaging in Congenital Heart Disease
We sought to evaluate the appropriateness of cardiac anatomy renderings by a new virtual reality (VR) technology, entitled DIVA, directly applicable to raw MRI imaging data without intermediate segmentation steps in comparison to standard 3D rendering techniques (3D PDF and 3D printing). Differences in post processing times were also evaluated.
