Subclaims¶

q2 i? In an observational study with 11 radiologists, after 30 minutes of practice the average operation time by the finger method was significantly shorter than by the mouse method for angiographic images. → Alvarez-Lopez F 2019 q2 i? In a separate observational study with 14 dental students manipulating 25 images, operation time with the LMC was significantly shorter than with the conventional mouse method. → Alvarez-Lopez F 2019 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r2

Observational study (study [81]) comparing average operation time of a mouse versus a finger-motion sensor, with 11 radiologists observing a simulated clinical case. The review reports the finger method was significantly shorter after 30 min of practice.

"After a practice time of 30 min, the average operation time by the finger method was significantly shorter than that by the mouse method."

q2 · i? · review · r3

Observational study (study [92]) of a motion-sensor system for manipulating radiological images in dentistry with 14 students and 25 images. The review reports significantly shorter operation time with the LMC than with the mouse.

"The operation time with the LMC was significantly shorter than with the conventional method using a mouse."

• The most common use of gesture-based COTS devices in surgery was image manipulation in interventional radiology environments or the operating room (42 studies), followed by virtual or augmented reality for educational or interventional purposes (16 studies)
• Microsoft Kinect and the Leap Motion Controller were the most widely used COTS gesture-detection devices in surgical research, appearing in 50% and 36% of the 86 included studies respectively
• In a 42-participant field study, Microsoft Kinect was found more useful and easier to use than the Leap Motion Controller, while the Leap Motion Controller was more accurate for manipulating CT images
